Can't get a steamer or pressure cooker...
    #7640026 - 11/15/07 02:28 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

I cannot afford nor find a cheaper pressure cooker at this point. Does anyone have alternate methods of sterilizing the jars?

BRF jars? Watch the RR videos on youtube. They just use a pot of boiling water. Apparently you need a PC for grain or WBS though. Not sure about LC's.

Im told that boiling in a regular pot for a long time, letting it rest, and doing it 3-4 times can usually get the job done. Also try ebay for a good cooker. I have never used anything beyound the 4 quart 10 psi mirro that I got at super walmart for 20 bucks. try ebay until you find a used one in your budget. maybe even get a new one for cheap.

steam in a huge pot make sure you put lids or something on the bottom and dont let the water touch the jars. wait til it starts boiling then cut the heat down a littie bit.. i did it for about an hour but it should probably be longer.

wait til the jars are cool to the touch before you inoc.

i did this the first time and it worked fine.. no contams.. i might just be lucky though. good luck.

If your budget has some wiggle room check out your local thrift stores for some gear, I've often seen older pressure cookers and canning pots.

buy pre-sterilized substrate jars. its cheaper than buying the whole setup, and pretty much failsafe, as long as its a reputable vendor.

You have no idea what you're talking about. It is a lot cheaper to make your own jars. Please don't give B.S advice.

Cheaper, but what if you're LAZY! Oh what then? And 8 hours is long time to wait to inoculate :frown:. :wink:

:rolleyes:Only if your impatient.

I'd rather put in a little work and wait a few hours then to waste $$$ on buying pre-sterilized jars.

Buy some from our sponsers, i think mycopath sells pre made jars, or they are all over ebay, that is where I got my first jars, they are great, have good additives in the substrates and are gaurenteed to be sterile on arrival.

I just got my first PC today! its small but no more buying or trading for sterile jars for me. Shit if you still have probs PM me, i could make up some jars for you for a trade.

not to knock the vendors, but the pre-sterilized jars are a fckin rip off.. at least most of them i see.. like 70 bucks plus shipping for 12 jars..

you can get it so much cheaper if you do it yourself. just steam it in a big pot until you can find a real PC that's exactly what i'm doin.

whatever ya do, if you're tryin to save money, don't buy pre-sterilized.

good luck still.

constantly buying pre-sterilized jars isnt cheaper than reusing and PCing old jars. only time its cheaper is if your going for a 1 time grow.
boiling works. but save up and get a PC
it will pay for itself in the long run
