Grain Sterilization/ Over-sterilization question
    #5706662 - 06/03/06 03:36 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

I've been cult'ing for a few years and I've always had one problem, especially when I switched from a canner with a pressure gauge to a canner with just a weight for specific pressures. Some of my jars would stall. Not contaminate, just stall. I've now begun to think that it might be because the jars are being overcooked, possibly drying them some. The 20psi weight most certainly sterilizes the matter inside, but it is ALWAYS spitting and making noise. Should it be doing this, or should it just be spitting a few times a minute? Could someone post a high-res pic of their grains, pre and post sterilization? I've noticed that some of my grains do appear a bit "shriveled". Thanks a bunch.

Turn your heat down so that it rattles 1-3 times/minute. Grains should look nearly identical coming out as they did going in, no difference there unless moisture content is way off. Thoroughly shake the jars; immediately after the cycle, and once cooled as well--get those drier kernels mixed with the wet ones.

go to the hardware store and get a real shutoff valve, if you unscrew the old bleeder nipple thing you can bring it in and get one that'll screw in directly.

Up means open, down is closed. HUGE improvement in holding PSI and not sucking in shitty outside air.
