A comment from a seasoned canner. You don’t need vented caps and foil. If you use new lids the canning process will vent naturally without any moisture injection. Just tighten the rings snug. If you overtighten pressure can rupture a jar but it’s rare. Just be aware that vacuum may cause them to seal when cooling so just lift up on the lid.
@MissBlackMetal3 ай бұрын
He's not canning, he's sterilizing the grains for use in mushroom cultivation. The mycelium (the mushroom is the fruiting body and the mycelium is the underground network of filamentous hyphae) will start off growing in the mason jars using the grains as nutrients. Mycelium breathe oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, just like humans, so the jars need a vent hole for fresh air exchange. However, at this stage the mycelium will be weak and easily prone to domination by other microorganisms. Hence, the grain are fully sterilized in a pressure canner prior to inoculation (introduction of live mycelium or spores), to ensure no other microorganisms are present before/with the mycelium, so the mycelium don't have to compete with anything. This is also the reason the modified lids don't have just an open hole, but rather have a 0.22μ (micron) filter patch placed over them (there are no microorganisms that are smaller than 0.3μ in size, so a 0.22μ filter will ensure no contaminants enter the jars. Hopefully that cleared things up for you. ;)

Once!. After 8 to 11 days the entire contents are completely colonized and ready for fruiting. ) I haven't weighed them after dehydration because I have only done Blu Meanies and there are 3 bags of Albino A+ and 2 of Malabar Coast almost done.

@@etownKeystoned it has a lot of nutrients in it including a lot of nitrogen, both of which the mycelium loves. It's this huge amount of nutrients and especially nitrogen that greatly increase the risk of contamination, because contams also love ample nutrition. To my understanding, you want SOME nitrogen in your substrate, but go over a certain percentage (idk what percent, maybe 5%? Don't quote me on that) and you'll be inviting contam in for a feast. So the problem is: yes, coffee is very nutritious for the mycelium, but it's also very nutritious for the contams -- and if your grow style is one in which your #1 priority is to mitigate any possible vector of contamination, then coffee grounds are something you don't want to consider adding. But if you are experimenting, go for it. Idk the mechanical process of how nitrogen invites contams specifically, but I'd certainly be interested in watching a video explaining it.

Put a MERV 13 filter over the AC supply vent for that room and have an automatic air purifier running to reduce air particulate. After that all contaminants will come from your own body or anyone that enters the room which is easier to manage. Getting fresh, filtered O2 into the room is a whole other story but yea just keep the air particulate low and contamination probability goes waaay down.

Hey Joe! The purpose of a pressure cooker is to raise the temperature above 212F....the only way to do that is to raise pressure, or add a SIGNIFICANT amount of energy to turn the pot into a super-heated system...not practical. To give a more simplified answer to your question, pressure isn't really what is sterilizing the grain, its the heat. The heat will penetrate the entire jar via conduction, even if the jar is completely sealed. However, in this case, I have breathing holes in the top of my jars that are covered with breathable micropore tape, so the pressure inside the jars is the same as the inside of the pressure cooker.

Is the boiling necessary after it has been sitting for 24 hours? Or can I go straight to pressure cooker
@OneEarthMushrooms3 жыл бұрын
Yeah, the boiling is pretty necessary. It forces the grains to fully hydrate. Otherwise, the grain kernels will end up exploding in the P.C. I don't completely understand the physics of this, but I've done it.

Quick question man when doing the exact thing your doing in this video, why is all the rye grain sprouting? Same time cooked in this video same drying and before I get a chance to sterilize they all sprout. . . But only rye grain. Nothing else I use does that.

Dude, that's so weird! I've never had that happen. They're sprouting overnight? I would figure that boiling would kill off the ability to sprout.

Is it normal for the rye grain jars to stink after pressure cooking?
@OneEarthMushrooms Жыл бұрын
Yeah, immediately after pressure cooking the grain usually doesn't smell very good. My kids hate it!

You can let them sit outside the pressure cooker that long without a contam issue?
@OneEarthMushrooms3 жыл бұрын
Hi Marissa! What stage are you talking about? Before pressure cooking, or after? After pressure cooking the grain is in a very sterile environment; sealed inside the glass jars that went through the pressure cooking process. Before the pressure cooker, it doesnt really matter because everything will get killed by the heat of the PC. Does that answer your question?

Is your P.C the Presto 23 quart Aluminum ? I just bought mine and it doesn't rock at 15 PSI for some reason. Also where can I get the burner you are using?
@OneEarthMushrooms4 жыл бұрын
Mine is the 18 qt, I couldn't find the 13 qt locally. It's not the best quality, but not too bad for the price. Is your pressure getting higher than 15 PSI?
@OneEarthMushrooms4 жыл бұрын
I got the burner at Target, but it's a way underpowered. I don't recommend it.
@jonathantat62804 жыл бұрын
@@OneEarthMushrooms Hmmmm. I haven't tried going past the 15 PSI. My other presto didn't have a gauge and I just left it on till the 15 weight rocker worked. This time the rocker for my 23qt didn't move at all which gave me concerns. I will try upping past the 15PSI next time, I hope my jars were properly sterilize though because I had to constantly shift the gas up and down to maintain pressure. Thanks for the response and the burner feedback.
