Dehydrator Question?
    #8395904 - 05/13/08 09:34 AM (15 years, 10 months ago)

I recently picked up a nesco food dehydrator. the air flow is pretty good but the heater is non-adjustable and its getting to hot for my mushies. anybody know how to disable this sort of thing. any help appreciated.
Thanx

Ive got one. It works good, the temperature has never affected my harvest. Its a nesco snackmaker I think. But try a box fan / salad strainer Idea if you don't want the heat.

hey guys

i saw this on 'Good Eats' on food network, by Alton brown.
if you dont know who he is, hes very reputable scientist/chemist and food expert lol

ANYWAY, i was thinking how to make a cheap dehydrator, i turn on the TV... and here comes Alton brown telling you why Dehydrators are nothin but a waste of cash, and using heat to dry something is just not practical, it removes taste, and in OUR case, potency..

so he explained how dehydration is best when COLD DRY AIR circulates fast.. :P because it wont cook the moisture out of the product..

http://www.ehow.com/how_2220777_dehydrate-food-traditional-dehydrator.html

this is the same thing he used to dry his very soggy beef jerky in 3-4 hours. just make sure to use Cellulose furnace filters instead of fiberglass.. (obviously..)

IDK, IMHO Alton brown is one of the smartest motherfuckers ive seen, he knows everything, about everything.. and yea he could tell you how to grow mushrooms lol

its just an idea, ill post pics of mine when i get the materials.. very cheap and very effective :P

yea thats the same kind i got the snack master one, no ill effects huh? the mushrooms i put in were warm to the touch after about 15 minutes this cant be good for potency can it? ive been using a box fan and a window screen cut out of the frame and folded up, but i was hoping a dehydrator would be a lil quieter. i guess i'll just have to experiment and hopefully not ruin my brand new snackmaster. thanx guys for the info

I read somewhere on here that psylocin & psilocybin are stable up to around 400F. All I know is I use both a cold dry and the hot dry for more weight, and I have had NO complaints on potency!!

Later,

im pretty sure ive read using high heat will lower the potency.

that is why MOST teks say to disconnect the heating element.
