I appreciate what you do, well done good Sir. One spore at a time.

[@Robert-dh3xg]

So your details and all your videos you're such an amazing guy I'm hoping one of these months I can come and do a mentorship thing with you Amen God bless you

[@arthuregeoz5688]

You make great content. One quick question can you sterilize shitake substrate in those barrels?

[@MyersMushroomsFarms]

Absolutely yes.

[@strattgatt5303]

Does Bubba's ship to Canada?

[@brandonojalvo9775]

Hello! Just wondering when pasteurizing substrate bags with this unit, would I pre seal .5 micron bags at 170 temp for 2 and a half hours? Thank you

[@SasquatchMushrooms]

How do you set up the PID? I don’t have a manual since I inherited this device

[@MyersMushroomsFarms]

It should just be flip the element switch and cycle the key and it starts the cycle. If you want to change settings look up the part number on the actual controller and get the full manual from the manufacturer. I belive its a p100? Bubbas only gives you a quick operators guide.

[@123badman]

Do you put substrate or spawn in this?

[@MyersMushroomsFarms]

Sub only

[@sulamaitacapin8198]

so it doesnt need someking of rubber washer? so the teflon can withstand high heat?

[@whatsthepoint202]

Hi pardon my ignorance but why is the thermocouple reading the air temp and not the water temp as the pid is controlling the element which inturn is heating the water to maintain set temperature.

[@mountainwise5517]

Thanks for the video. I'm gathering supplies to build one based on your design - i'm finding it easier to come across used 18 and 20 gauge stainless barrels. I noticed that the bubbas build is 16 gauge - do you see any reason that 18 gauge wouldn't be sufficient?

[@MyersMushroomsFarms]

16 gauge is just a more heavy duty barrel and its what bubbas sells. a 20 gauge should work fine, maybe a bit harder to weld if your going with tri clamp ferrules and welding the fittings vs weldless

[@mountainwise5517]

@@MyersMushroomsFarms thank you

[@abbya4615]

I know it obviously varies depending on the size of the bags and what not but how many blocks from substrate can you sterilize at once with that particular model?

[@MyersMushroomsFarms]

Capacity is listed on the website

[@killerkennyas]

Hey Eric you have been a tremendous help brother. Quick question..I'm building one of these now,first for straw and then maybe masters mix bags Inna few months..question I have is I got inkbird itc-608t, do I jus set the temp thing thru the top in the water w straw? And if I have bags do I position between the bags for temp?. I'm gonna run a 1500 w element I believe..and for the straw I just do at 160ish for couple hours right? Bit if I have 10-12lb bags in there,how long does that go for and at what temp? And you men and women out there away from your families, you guys stay safe and know that this American guy here supports your dedication to this country in a hard time. Peace my man

[@cakopinolo]

This is the unit that u will use in the new facility???and how about the dobledoor unit that u ant TR shows us some months ago???what is the price and where i can buy it??

[@MyersMushroomsFarms]

This one is from bubbasbarrels. The other unit is not in production yet.

[@cakopinolo]

They sell it the complet kit like that or i have to buy all the diferent parts??

[@MyersMushroomsFarms]

@@cakopinolo its a complete kit if you pick it with the right options. As shown is the 110 gallon with 6000w element ans PID controller. The product link is in the description

[@cakopinolo]

Thx so much x the info

[@tsymnz66]

Do you think a metal trash can would work?

[@michaeldorfman3680]

What is the height of the rack with the spacers?

[@bydecko1]

how about the pressure that build up in the tank? there is something to release it?

[@MyersMushroomsFarms]

There are 4 small hole sin the lid, no locking ring, or gasket.

[@roblentz33]

Any info on the double door sterilizer you were designing going? Any updates?

[@MyersMushroomsFarms]

Ill be building a prototype this summer. The last project was a disaster.

[@kwlweapons]

@@MyersMushroomsFarms What happened?

[@MyersMushroomsFarms]

@@kwlweapons design flaws and issues with the manufacturer

[@roblentz33]

In the design, manufacturing, or operation? The reason I ask is I am looking to do a thru wall, double door sterilizer but with remote steam source. Relatively simple idea unless I am missing something? Thoughts?

[@MyersMushroomsFarms]

@@roblentz33 poor paint, door clamps, door design, seal design, rack design, over budget, over schedule. it was a mess.

[@markdavis5964]

Very informative and well made vid!!

[@annmariemontes179]

Hi. Has there been a solution for the top buckling? It loses so much heat and steam.

[@MyersMushroomsFarms]

Did you contact Bubbas? there was a big recall on lids last year for that. You should just get a new lid. If you didnt buy the pre built unit, just use a locking ring.

[@chvrao6967]

Tank thickness ? Sir

[@Quiablo]

Hey Eric, do you use soft wood pellets, or only hard wood pellets, or doesnt that make a difference whatsoever? Thanks!

[@MyersMushroomsFarms]

I use oak. But Ive heard people have good results with soft pellets for some species like oysters and lions mane. Douglas firr works well too

[@Quiablo]

Can you use this for grain spawn

I have had mixed results with grain spawn. i have heard of others that have good results.

Anyone knows similar sterilizers from Europe?

[@telkmx]

Yes i'm really wondering..

[@yyrr2719]

I think I over tightened my float valve. Am I going to be screwed when I have to replace it? What should I do if the fitting leaks after it's time to replace. Fuck

[@MyersMushroomsFarms]

Just take it off and put fresh Teflon on and try again.

[@_next223]

Eric did the military teach you about electrical work or did you go in knowing it all?

[@MyersMushroomsFarms]

I learned electronics in high school. But then I learned house electrical and digital controllers with homebrewing and then brought it into mushrooms.

A lot of this reminds me of electric HERMS beer brewing.

Bubbas barrels does a lot of brewing kettles. This is basically a modified kettle.

People…cold water lime pasteurization.

[@MyersMushroomsFarms]

Yes that works for some species but not all. We do lime pasteurized with 20% soy hull in the batch mixer 800lbs at a time. Try that with chestnut or king oyster and it would be 100% contamination.
