Are you using a weight on your rocker to limit the steam released?

Yes I do, 15g (2 coins) as per Bod's PC tek. Caps at 17-18 psi, but still lots of steam comes out. This gas burner is too powerful, I need another one for long cycles.

Should my PC be okay after almost running dry ?

Yes it should be fine as long as it hasn't sat dry for an extended period and warped the pc badly.

I have been dealing with bacterial jars and am trying to refine my process at every step.

I'm trying longer PC cycle (2,5 hours as per Stipe advices) but my gas stove is too powerful even on the lowest setting. When I opened the PC I notices it almost ran dry. I started the cycle with 3 quarts of water and there was a cup left.
Also the burnt bread smell of wheat was much more pronounced.
The PC (presto 23qt) doesn't seems warped or anything.

Am I fine to reuse that PC ?


The PC is fine. Maybe you can try a simmer plate (aka heat diffuser) for your stove.

Some stoves also allow you to adjust the gas on the knob: https://research.rolfes.org/home/adjusting-the-simmer-flame-on-a-gas-stove/

Good luck, don't blow up the house

Surely all gas stoves allow you to adjust the flame?

At least mine does, but even on low it's too powerful.

It's not about turning the knob. It's about removing the knob and twisting with a little screw to adjust its lowest setting. Read the link.

I have a shoebox spawned 2:1 plain coir with an additional 1 quart top layer at spawn.  It is colonizing nicely.

These are PE.  Should I add a thin top layer after the top layer colonizes? Would this help with blobs and promote an even pinset growth?

My first identical box pinned a lot, but growth is starting at random times.  Also, some blobs.  I didn't add a post colonization top layer.

Thanks 😊

Heyy, I'm about to buy a PC and decided to get something local since import fees are $100. Here's the pc

The specs are:
20lt (21.1qt)
2 pressure settings: 55kpa/ 100kpa(14.5psi)
Made of alluminum 3003

1)How many jars can I fit in there?

2)I assume when the bottom warps it's due to user error ie not enough water. How much water do I need for this chinese pc? Will it warp anyways? What's up with aluminum vs steel?

3)If you know of any tek on proper operation of the pc at 15psi , please share it. Thanks:mushroom2:

Lots of pcs are aluminum.
20L should fits roughly 8 qt jars give or take, probably 7 in a 20L.

You'll need around 2L of water but it's dependent on the heat source and whether you can weigh down the weight to limit the steam escape.

If the pc is capable of holding 14.5psi it should be fine up to 17psi with additional weights on the rocker.
This allows you to run the pc at lower temperature and still to maintain the psi.

Had some mushrooms growing off of the mycelium that was growing up the sides of the plastic on an all in one bag.

Worried that the mycellium was damaged when it was brushed off the sides of the bag and the mushrooms that were connected to it are not going to grow anymore.

Wondering if I should go ahead and harvest them now?

As long as they are connected by a single strand they will still grow

Took almost a year but I feel Ive finally mastered the art of creating clean spawn.





I think I can still improve on my grain prep too. Pretty sure my grains havent been fully hydrated.

Thanks to all who have helped!

Hi fellow Shroomerites,
I m wondering about something.
Even if I mostly use Muda's bottle tek, I do run many grain jar attempting to perfect my skills.
Since I'm still not able to produce perfectly clean spawn (according to the clean spawn tutorial from Stipe n Cap)
I mostly top fruit my jars (cause not fully healthy spawn doesn't worth going to bulk, as my understanding, but can still produce decent amount of shroom if top fruited)
Then come my question, I noticed that my casing tend to overlay when colonized.
And once again Stipe write a tek about thick and compressed casing for preventing overlay and blobs.
So do you think my culture produce overlay because I just use a thin casing or do you think I need to adjust misting/FAE.

Btw: I almost don't mist at all, casing is at field capacity and jar are covered with ziplock (punctured for FAE according to Faht ziplock FC tek)



Ps : sorry if it's not clear /understandable, it's late and had few glass of wine.

This gas burner is too powerful...


If you happen to have the induction-friendly Presto you could always get an induction burner which will have an adequately low setting available.

Another nice thing about doing it this way is I can put the Presto in the garage where I don't hear it or smell it. And, my induction cooktop has a timer, so once the Presto hits final cruise mode, I can punch in the PC time and go to bed.
