That's a bummer. Good news is you figured it out at least.



Just got back from the hardware store with a new Presto 23qt pressure canner.

I'll be re-sterilizing the latest WBS jars, perhaps while canning some hot pepper jam I just made.

I believe we must levy a hot pepper jam tax to continue following your progress here. Pics please!

I learned that all that's needed for jam is 10 minutes in a boiling water bath...

From memory and not-so-great notes:

Hot Pepper Jam
- [ ] 12 oz. sweet mini peppers, seeded
- [ ] 8 oz. jalapeño peppers, seeded
- [ ] 0.5 tsp salt
- [ ] 1 tsp black pepper
- [ ] 2 cloves of garlic, minced or crushed
- [ ] 5 oz white wine vinegar
- [ ] 30 oz. (4.25 cups?) white sugar
- [ ] 1.75 oz. (one box) powdered pectin (add 50% more for thicker set)

- [ ] 8x 8-oz canning jars and lids, pre-washed and heated in 200ºF oven
- [ ] water bath canner with enough hot water to cover jars plus 2 inches
- [ ] jar lifter
- [ ] thick towel or cooling rack

* chop peppers and garlic finely in food processor
* put in deep saucepan with salt, vinegar, and black pepper
* bring to boil
* add pectin and mix
* add sugar and mix, bring back to boil
* continue to heat and boil, stirring until 217º-220ºF
* ladle into hot jars, cleaning rims, leaving 1/4" to 1/2" of headspace
* add lids to jars and screw on bands
* using a jar lifter, put jars into hot water in water bath canner
* add hot water if necessary to go 1-2 inches above tops of jars
* bring canner to a boil
* boil for 5-10 minutes
* using jar lifter, remove jars from canner and set on a thick towel or cooling rack
* let cool for 24 hours
* check lids for proper seal

Future mods:
* fresno or habanero peppers instead of jalapeño
* apple cider vinegar instead of white wine vinegar
* somewhat more vinegar

Awesome!  Ty!  I grow peppers every year, and usually make hot sauce, pickled peppers and pepper pastes.

I love me some pepper jam on biscuits.

OK, finally got the second experiment together. I was only able to fit six one-quart containers into my SGFC, so I set it up with three electrified and three non-electrified ones. The other two myco-quarts I put into shoeboxes.

I mixed the grain spawn 1:1 with coco coir in a big bowl, then weighed out equal amounts of the mixture into each one-quart container.

I'll start zapping them as soon as they get fully colonized (or maybe before if I feel impatient).

For sure. I've worked around HV for years, but still managed to discharge the HV capacitor through my hand the other day while not being sufficiently careful. It was quite painful.

And now I'm going to be quadrupling the amount of energy stored in that capacitor by raising the voltage from 15 to 20kV and increasing the capacitance. So there will be 10 joules of energy in each zap.

I would not like to get that across my heart.

Sorry you lost him that way. :sad:

When I write up descriptions of my experiments and the HV generator I will be sure to add warnings about the dangers of electricity. I would hate to have someone injured or killed because they were trying to copy what I'd done.

I don't know the best way to scare away the people who don't know what they don't know. Hearing the recent news about people dying because they were using neon sign transformers to burn wood (copying videos on YouTube or TikTok) makes me realize that lots of folks have no idea about the dangers of electricity.

When I was a young teenager I built a pirate radio transmitter using vacuum tubes. It had a 450V 1A power supply, easily lethal if applied across the heart. One day I was making some measurements and somehow got it across my body. I couldn't release my hands or arms because my muscles were clenched tightly, but was able to knock it off the bench and out of my grasp. I was lucky I survived.

Ever since then I've been careful to follow the "one hand" rule (keeping the other hand in my back pocket), or use insulated gloves. And I'm always conscious of power line voltage and whether or not I'm grounded. When I work on line-powered electronics like power supplies, I use a medical grade isolation transformer.

I suspect that not everyone who might try to build such a device is as careful as I have learned to be.
