fuck yeah.  what kind of spawn bags do you use.  I pack 9 bags in there with 40lbs of dry seed/hydrated and bagged however much that weighs per bag.  it works though but it took me awhile to get it down.  I cook at 15+ psi for 2.5 hrs.

if I can reduce that too 2 hrs that would be great but I used to do 4 hrs at the suggestion of another user.  I did have a lot of trouble with pin holes in the bags for awhile and never could determine if it was from heat spikes in excess of 18+ lbs

I don't recommend anyone modify their PC.  I modified mine, but often don't practice what I preach.  I'm an engineer by profession, and don't drink or get high anymore, so am willing to do things my own way if I judge it in my professional opinion to be safe.  No one should EVER go to sleep while running a pressure cooker, and even when staying awake, always set a timer.

yeah my 941 sometimes its such a sweet baby and other times it creeks and hisses on occasion which sends me bolting into the kitchen to check on it.  Its always fine though.  I did not go to sleep on purpose it was just one of those long long long nights of prepping stuff up.

also.  If something should go wrong and the stop cock valve does not trip and the blowout plug doesnt blow which would make a huge mess anyway.  The PC is like a gigantic pipe bomb so kiss your kitchen goodbye if that happens.  the cops are probably gonna show up too.

the black plug will blow. I forget what pressue is needed to blwo the plug but it is a lot lower then needed to blow up an aluminium pot.

Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

well that would defeat the purpose of the blowout plug which is 30 lbs.  An AA pressure cooker will take the heat though.  I cant speak for any of the lower models though as I have never used them.

someone else's experience to back it up.  Also the legend user agar has several posts about his blowout plug coming out in his forgetful moments and making a huge fucking mess!

I have an instapot type cooker that operates at 80 lbs. Will this still work? Or will it kill any nutrients not only in the grain but the lme?

Those run at 80 kPa, not 80 pounds. 80 kPa = 11.6 psi. The brand name instantpots work better than the off-brands for sterilizing. They are usable but not recommended because you can't fit much in it and the cycle times are super long.

I've been running everything on high for at least 150 mins. Also, I'm too new at this to say if it's effective or not. Good luck!

This thread is super old, how'd you get here?

They go a little past 15psi at the start. And I have yet to test, but I think if you continually restarted the unit it might go up to 15psi repeatedly.

There is also a way to adjust sensors inside which can get it up higher, but obviously the repeated cycling is safer and most would not be comfortable adjusting things.
