foaf has same one. yes 4 tall 1/2 pt. or 3 short wide mouth. has done corn at 45 min approx 4 batches. verm brf 45 min no probs on both (crossing fingers). on last batch pc'd for 30 min and had a slew of contams AARRGGGHH but thinks it was from innoc because only that strain contamed did 4 jars of that and all 4 contamed. the others pc'd at same time were fine using different strain. yes shoulda got the bigger one but this is I guess okay for now. It takes quite a while to do a dozen jars especially when using the short 1/2 pts. but still it does the job for now

if you stack your 1/2 pints doesnt water get into the bottom jars?
why would it?
the water level is below the top of the bottom jars.

Oh yeah... and same as far as the water level approx 3/8 to 1/2 on bottom. started out using enough water to go 1/2 way up the bottles and worked down from there. Not suggesting you do the same but use a little more til you find what works best for you.

alrighty so what i get from this is i bought a crappy pc but it is good enough to do 4 jars in 1.5 hours.........man its gunna take all day to do 12 LOL! Well I guess anything is better than steaming at this point. Just to make it clear about how much water should I use in this thing if I am pcing for a hour and a half? (Im sure someone has already mention it but I got lost in all the jabber)

A wide mouth 1/2 pint jar is just over 2 1/2" tall...so use 1 1/2" of water...and you should be fine.
A Tall 1/2 pint jar is about 4" Tall...so you could use more water in the bottom of the pressure cooker...was my point.
good luck!~

if you can boost your jars up a little (with a plate) you can add more water to be safe ( you can always add more), but if you fill to just over 1/2 way up your jars, you should be good. Don't forget to foil your jars.

Foaf is a total noob to all this and has not tried boiling(three days at 170) just seemed like too much work. so tried the elCheapo way using this 20$ pc. Just follow the teks, read all the info this site has to offer and you should be fine. He does not do everthing exactly as described but if you at least "try" to be sterile i.e. clean work surface, lysol, alcohol, and even cheap latex gloves and a dust mask you should have some decent results. here are a coupla pics of what can be accomplished "following directions". only been doing now for about 2-1/2 months
second try after first one contamed. This is from one 1/2 pt jar of popcorn cased.

Playin around 100% popcorn cake

Same cake next day

Spazticbusdriver and closetgrower can obviously do things properly, why suggest things that are not proper?

okay I know not three days straight all day all night. but just to have to do the same process for 3 days in a row seemed like a bit much at this point.

Why do I need 15psi when pressure cooking?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The reason for it is that at a pressure of 15 PSI (pound per square inch) water boils at a higher temperature (250?F, 121?C) than at ambient pressure.(212?F, 100?C). This high temperature kills the contaminants if applied for a sufficient long time span.

Maybe we should consider changing the FAQ???? Since it seems like alot of growers in this thread say 10 is fine.
-------------------- "I celebrate the Earth, my home, my mother, my grave, and as long as men are Man they must, if they would preserve the integrated being, do the same---[and preserve]--this rank casual hungry smelly sweaty lusting transitory body, my oozy pulpy liquid-bag-swollen body, bones, blood, hair glands, my bejeweled sex; I love and celebrate it all. never to let men forget that they are animals as much as gods---that is one thing I shall say."
