Are you at sea level? Would I need to increase my cook time if I'm at ~4k feet elevation ?

Do you add the grain spawn after filling up the shoebox to the top?

What model burner did you use? Is it the 120v 1,500w

I probably missed it but when do you take the lid off The Shoe Box?..... when you start to get pins?

Awesome presentation. I was having several problems that I think might be solved using your instructions. For example, I was merely soaking grains and I think this was resulting in slow colonization of bags. I think this slow colonization allowed contams to gain a foothold. There are several other great lessons I learned here. Thanks very much.

*instead of using the press tool, you can use a tub that is exactly the same and push it down and since it is molded from the same form, it can get in the nooks and crannies.*

What size tote is that bigger one you put the shoebox tote into ?

i appreciate this video friend, I just have LME, but you helped me see that lme and water is all i need.

PART 2 ?

Strange....There are 8 billion people and 1 billion websites in the world and this is the ONLY place where I have found which shows a nice acrylic SAB. I know the author says it's cost prohibitive. However, people seem to have no problem paying $60K for their automobiles. If you're a master cultivator, a beautiful $2.5k - $3K SAB (like the author has designed) doesn't seem unreasonable. Of course, you'd have to design 3D printed connectors so you could ship and store the SAB in a "flat pack" format.

if the bag is sealed, how do you put the spawn grain in?

Is a trivet at the top really necessary ?

Mounting it in the bed of the truck I think I'd try routing the exhaust straight below and have it output into the exhaust of the truck. The sound would get lost in there.

I did the same thing with a muffler and a upright pipe with a flapper . The generator is mounted in a shed and the upright is attached to the wall to relieve any stress on the gen.

That may well work over the long term, but I believe the unsupported nature of the pipe will eventually cause the adapter or fasteners to break. If you had a support on the truck bed it would relieve that stress on the exhaust flange adapter.On my generator I have a similar adapter but used silicone exhaust ducting to go out. Mine is permanently mounted in a job site box at my cabin so it’s not the same application as yours. Even a short length of flexible exhaust pipe could isolate the piping from the exhaust adapter and eliminate fatigue caused by vibration. Just a couple ideas.

What is the perfect mix for 10ml syringe spores? And du you hydrate the grains 24 hours before?

What happened to part 2

Do you have to put the substrate in two layers like you did? Or can i just fit it all in at once and compress it?

do you wrap them when still hot?

So you don't mix the spawn with the substrate? Just leave it on the bottom

Can uncooked oatmeal be used? Can I sterilize in a microwave?

At around 7:52 I was wondering where the drums were coming from.

Don't smack mason jars with your hands. The glass isn't tempered and can fracture from the pressure cooking process. Unless you want a bunch of glass imbedded in your skin, use a towel.

What is the name of that flattening tool?

Pans are interesting. Martha tent wrks well.

Been having issues with my oat grain bags spilling out liquid and making the water nasty. Crazy ive done thousands of bags but occasionally still mess up. Smh

I found these perfect sized tubs that can fit 3 shoeboxes while being 80 quarts as well. I can also fit a puppy incontinence pad inside as well which will keep humidity up.

what are the dimensions?

what's stopping me from dumping the whole plate into the jar? wouldn't i get faster grain colonization?

I know vid is almost a year old. I'm just getting started and plan to use my instapot for this. Question is with sizes, because I can actually fit three quart jars in mine. Would this change the results?

Got a tiny bit of silicon in the GE hole. Should be good still?

I've been buying my grain jars from Midwest Grow Supplies. $30 for 5lbs.....im guessing it's cheaper to do it myself, thank you for the video!

How is that 1 qt of spawn if the quart jar is half empty?

That seems like a lot of substrate for just one quart of spawn.

Where’d you get the perfectly cut 29mm SFD?

Can you link to the proper low lavibond malt? Is it the maltoform 10001 or is it Pilsner light?

Do you have a video on how to make cvg? I’m trying to figure out if there is some type of weight ratio I can follow since coco bricks are usually over or under weight.

So I forgot to soak and boil my grain before pressure cooking and inoculation..is there anything I can do??

Who did you commission for this SAB build?

Would you please test 2 more jars with 0.5 inch of water; one with tightened [2 peice ring] lid; one with a "finger tight" lid? I'm being told on Reddit that you have to vent the trapped air **in the jar** to achieve sterilization. I believe that the venting is to allow a vacuum to be formed after cool-down. Some mycologists find undesirable because it sucks in "dirty air" (we'll ignore the flow hood) when opened. I believe that a tightened lid will still sterilze, but result in no/little vacuum after cool-down. The lids and jars should be okay (unlike in your dry test) because the pressure inside the jars will increase because the water will turn to steam.
