High all, I'm new to growing shrooms and I just last night pressure cooked 23 PF style jars. I followed the diretions to the tee. Its just that the brown rice and verm now looks kind of cooked to me. moisture content appears to be the same. everything is just a shade or two browner than when I began. No digi so no pics, I will say this, I have never used a pressure cooker before last night, everything went well eccept that it took about 45 min to reach 15 psi, is that normal? I will wait to hear from some of you before I inoculate any of these jars, I don't want to waste any syringes.
Thanx in advance, Phungi.

This is normal.......so is taking 45 min to reach 15psi.
Just inject those babies and you will have mush soon.

Once it hit 15psi you let it cook for an hour right?

First off, thank you all who replied so fast, everything that you have said has made me feel much better, thanx agian.
SpicyTunaRoll, Yes, after achieving 15psi I set the timer for 45min, I figured that would be plenty since pf says 20 min is sufficient.
I have 4 syringes from a reputable source (one that advertises here), and I will use two of them on this maiden voyage, wish me luck.
Phungi.

No I didn't force the pressure out I just let the whole unit cool over night before I even touched it. Every one of the jar looks identical now and are perfectly cool. I will have time to inoculate them monday morning I hope. Right now I'm up to my ass in aligators.
Peace, Phungi.
