Bubba Barrel Sterilizer novice
    #28637051 - 01/27/24 03:12 PM (3 months, 18 days ago)

Hi everyone!

I have a 55gallon Bubba Barrel (2023 model) that I'm deadly afraid of breaking on my first use lol. I've only sterilized 8 bags in presto pressure cookers so this thing is monster to me.

I'm planning to sterilize 20 5lb bags which only fills half of this thing. To start how much water should i use? I know it has to be enough to cover the heating element but is there a formula of how much water per substrate weight?

I have almost no idea what i'm doing so any tips are appreciated :eek:.

Thanks!

Read the directions. If it didn't come with any that's fucky. Get your info from the manufacturer not us.

Sadly the instructions don't indicate a lot of things, such as water to substrate ratio or how long to run the thing for besides a very wide typical range.
:sad:

No instructions? Damn you china! Oh well they probably wouldn’t have been worth a fuvk anyway. If you can’t get the actual instructions Do empty test runs to see how it goes. Start with more water than you would use and run for 30 minuets, see where it’s at. Then run it for an hour and see where it’s at.

Bubba barrels and drum sterilizers with a heating element in them should all be equiped with a float valve and you hook them up to a water line. This will keep the water level steady.


Have a look at myer's mushrooms videos, the first 4 or 5 in the list below should answer some of your questions and there are heaps of videos on how to run a drum sterilizer on youtube, atmospheric sterilizers are basically all the same or very similar in terms of how to use them.
