For anyone who saw this video, it appears he doesn’t have anything elevating the jars above the water when he pressure sterilizes. Although this may not be necessary, it opens the door for more contam when you don’t do it. The water in the bottom of the pressure cooker doesn’t get as hot as the steam, and it can leave grains at the bottom of the jar unsterilized. I’m using this video to prep some grains now, just figured I could give my input from what I’ve learned as well! Mush love
Thanks for this video 👊🏼 I took my popcorn out of the PC this morning and it looked like this. I thought maybe I screwed up and the popcorn has too much moisture. But after seeing this, I think mine should be good. I will wait a day or two to let the kernels soak up a bit of it. No pools, you can just see some moisture between the kernels and the side of the jar. Thank you!
Love the easier method than seeds. I’ve had great results from watching your video. But the last jars I did jar to jar transfer I had contamination because the corns started turning green. Interesting though, the jars are still turning white and look nice and white like cotton. Not going to use them but want to see if they pin in the jars. Why is the mycelium not turning green like the corn? Overall it has worked great and getting nice flushes
If I have the plastic lids can those go thru the pressure cooker or do I need to use the metal ring topped with foil for the PC portion, then replace with plastic? I’m seeing comments saying don’t modify your lids and I would rather not but unsure if the plastic lids that are made for shrooms can survive the PC process.
My pressure cooker was a hand me down from my grandmother. It’s gotta be one of the first presto pressure cookers they made. I can’t find a new seal for it. The closet one I found was a little too big and didn’t work. I put the old seal in silicone wd40 and vacuum sealed it as a final attempt to get it to work again but I thought I had to get a new one. It worked though and I get to put off getting a new one for a while longer
It’s to get a little added pressure. He taped a quarter to the weight so he could get the pressure a little higher. I personally don’t do this because I don’t want to fidget with it. You don’t need to and if you do be sure to follow all the other safety protocols while using the cooker. Check the valve to make sure it’s clear, make sure the release valve moves up and down without resistance, and make sure your O-ring is good still. Also make sure not to warp your cooker by putting adequate water for the time and centering the heat source on the bottom
No presoak? So many varients to this process, some say bloom the endospores first then pc. Some say rinse then pc. Id like a side by side review on the different processes
No pre soak just a run through the PC to cook before sterilizing, I will most definitely when I have the time! Graphics card on my pc went out so waiting to make more videos
Human consumption popcorn is usually a lot cleaner than animal feed corn. Less endospores to germ off with a soak so you can get away without it. I still soak popcorn if I have time but if im busy I skip it without any major issues. Keep spawning on bud 👍
Popcorn doesn't need the 24 hour soak because it's food grade...its already been through a type of decontam...corn from the feed store needs a 24hr soak.
I soak in distilled water and gypsum for 24 hours then slow cook for 45 minutes the next day. Strain for about a hour then pressure cook for 1 hour @15 psi. I put 3 tablespoons of vermiculite on the bottom of each quarter jar before I pressure cook.
think 130 min sounds too long, think they say 30 min is enough time in an instapot, not certain to hydrate kernels in pressure cooker, saw somewhere it needs 40 or 50 minutes...
you can dry corn on a sterilized towel. also...Put the foil Under the lid when closing the jars. you are not looking for a seal of the lid like in canning, so that would reduce the amount of moisture into the jars. you can't secure foil adequately by squeezing it around the closed jar. great information. thank you. turn down the music on your work.
So wuick tip, if you live in the Midwest, find a grain store and buy a 50lb of corn for like 12 bucks. Cheaper than buying the popcorn bags and tou will get waaaaay more

@@ThisReckless it is to trick the endospores into escaping the popcorn in order to avoid drowning, then once they have escaped for air, you kill them with pressure cooking . Keeps contamination rates down

I have tried many different plastic lids so far and none have been damaged by pressure cooking.

Awesome video! Thank you bro
We watched the new deadliest catch 🦀 last night I been watching for years great video 🦧 😊
So you said 20min at 15psi. I assume that you start the timer when the pc reaches 15psi correct?
I have the same question. Hopefully somebody comes up with an answer.
I need this answer 😢
Yes
He said 25 min @ 15psi.
@@ryandupay4022 no he didn't
Why do some say to cook it until it splits and some dont?
Can you use bags instead of jars ?
Do you tight sealed the bottles or leave them loose?
Wanna know this aswell, is it ok to tighten The lids when there is a Hole in The lid with micropore tape On it?
How long do you pressure cook for. Mine goes 30 mins 60 and 120.
Why did you have what looks like micropore tape on the weight of the pressure cooker?
To reach 15 psi.
To avoid the hissing sound
It should reach 15 psi without tape, that particular pc can even reach 20 right? I was wondering about the tape too, as I've never seen that
It’s to get a little added pressure. He taped a quarter to the weight so he could get the pressure a little higher. I personally don’t do this because I don’t want to fidget with it.

@@SachaLotusyou don’t want to avoid the hissing sound that’s how the pressure regulates. It’s just to add more pressure

I didn’t have to do anything with my spores. I put them right in the jars and they did great.

I have a question please start the timer as soon as you put it on the stove or do you start at once it hits 15 psi?
25mins @ 15 psi. Make sure you listen to how he says it.
Popcorn bois ftw! 🎉
🍿 gang all day!
Mann, I’ve been loving me some popcorn. Popcorn gang😎
My popcorn always looks like burnt after 130 mins at 15 psi. Not burnt but definitely dark this normal anyone??
think 130 min sounds too long, think they say 30 min is enough time in an instapot, not certain to hydrate kernels in pressure cooker, saw somewhere it needs 40 or 50 minutes...
I definitely want to rock that tshirt

@@Rootpuma2.0thankfully, it’s a passive 24 hours and well worth it for the price of bulk grain.
anywhere they sale pet (horse,dog ,deer etc) food

I heard Sporerangutan is the Stoned ape from the theory..........js.
There's no way monkeys could have done all this. They didn't even have Mason jars back then for one, and where would they even buy the spores?
I heard he's the theory incarnate
