    Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It looks like your spacers are in copper, while your boiler is in aluminum or stainless, this with any natural salts in your water produce a electrolytic corrosion, probably why the bottom of your boiler turn dark Grey, it is corroding. You would better of using same material spacers than the boiler material, that will prolong your boiler life. Regards.

    Seeing your bags come out like Bundt cakes gives me a sight of relief. As I thought I was cramming to much in and that’s why mine look like that too. I may have just realized at this point in time that bubba barrels are not for sterilizing grain? But I’m presuming when people say sterilization they’re talking about partial sterilization(I believe that’s the term) of bulk substrates. Could you elaborate on this if you happen to see this. - CentralFloridaMan

    Hey Myers! I am very curious on this... I have a small scale mushroom farm. The way I learned was that you needed to let the outside of the grains dry a bit before bagging. You dont worry at all about bagging the grains while the outsides are wet? In my head after PC there would be excess moisture in the bag.. Obviously watching this video that's not the case though, so I guess it doesnt even matter!? Lol
