I just found the Scotty Kilmer of mushrooms
Lmfao I thought the same thing
Spot on
Omg I was wondering why this dudes voice reminded me of someone 😅
Man i can’t even finish watching the video lol it’s like he’s doing a cover for Scotty 😭🤣
That was my exact thought as well. XD
Thanks Joe! Great content. Looking forward to your video on adding a uv light to humidification reservoirs.
Thanks for taking the time and effort to make this, this is perfect 👍
My pleasure
Thank you for a practical advise for using a barrel on steamer in mushroom farming. Jon from Philippines
This was a great video. Clear and concise and informative👍👍
Thank you
I can't wait to make one from your products list, thanks!
Get after it now! Super easy!
Awesome video. Thanks for taking the time to put this together!
No problem you're very welcome!
@@cactushatmushrooms3677 Hey Joe, great vids. Was wondering if you may be able to show yr grow rooms, especially interested if you insulate to maintain temperature? Im based in the uk which can be quite seasonal, so im thinking insulation may help with the seasonal swing in temps. Do you use a heater in winter and an AC in summer? Oh, and do you monitor co2 and fae ?
Loads of questions, hope to see further great vids , Happy shrooming !
@@wande.r Ill put it on the list. I will absolutely make a video on that. The short version is I've insulated my garage and use a split unit from Mr. Cool to control the temp in the garage. I personally dont use a c02 monitor because I dont see the point for smaller grows like mine. The mushrooms tell you all you need to know.
Again,awesome video..am definitely about to copy this
Thanks for this. You make it so easy to understand.
Great compliment thank you!
Thanks for everything man. Just made a huge purchase and off your links! You made this way easier bro so I appreciate it!
You're very welcome! Feel free to message me on social media if you have any questions
Excellent video Cactus hat Mushrooms,thank you so much for sharing 😎👍🏽
Great video. Just what I need 😁👍
💪
Loved it. We will produce lots of mushrooms in Colombia!!! Gracias!!!
Thank you so very much for this great video !!
My pleasure
I see truth & hear hard core sarcasm. Love your work dude!
This channel will be nothing but the truth and sarcasm
I hear Mr Poopybutthole
Thanks that was very helpful and easy to understand for beginners like me I appreciate your advice that will safe me lots off money I wish all the people are like you and that will change the world. God bless you
God bless you as well
bro you make life too much easier - excellent - keep up the great work.....
Thank you!
Thank you for this video
Those kings and lions looked good!!
Thanks! I'll be doing several lions mane videos eventually
Great ,Joe many thanks from a very wet Scotland and Ill need the insulation jacket much appreciated..
My pleasure!
Awesome thank you
Nice work🤩
Thanks!
Thanks brother
I watched all your videos with this one coming last. Wow, has your demeanor changed!
Thanks for noticing. I think I was too excited to be making videos during these times and it turned some people off so I had to level myself out a bit.
And btw, jb weld has a water type weld,u can actually put it on wet. I used it on my barrel when i.messed up a cut,works wonders
Good to know thank you!
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! I like DIY methods ($) of doing things more than "pre-made and bought" ($$$$$) methods. I am just starting out in mushrooms for myself here in Gainesville. But, I can see where it could get into a commercial business very quickly. Keep up the great videos. I do like the ones you have already done.
Appreciate the compliment. You're gonna do great.
Nice infomercial
Thanks. When it's time to move houses and up my game, I'll have 220 installed just for this.
It's a must have
Subbed!
Nice😎
Hey! Tell me about cook times =) Awesome video style and commentary. Sweeeeet
Thanks! You want the core temperature of your blocks to be 200 degrees f for 6-8 hours. I have never measured my blocks with a temperature probe personally and instead just run the steamer for 24 hours.

The Scotty Kilmer of mushrooms!
Thoughts on putting the grow bags into an oven at 150 for 2 hours to pastureize?
Joe wish you would make more videos of your growing.
Which part of the process would you like to see more? I've stayed away from pure growing videos mostly because the content is already out there.
Good b roll
And b roll song
Great vid, thanks for the details. Point of clarification, in your parts list you have 1" inner-diameter hose, but a 1/2" barbed TC fitting. Was that intentional?
Nevermind... looks like Dernord is out of the 1", so the listing just defaults to the 1/2". Ended up snagging one from Metaland.
I'm going to try to find a large stock pan (~40qt?) instead of a barrel. It'd be nice to find a stainless steel barrel or a brewer's vessel of some kind.
This is awesome 👍 If I were to do this, say in my garage or backyard, would there be a high risk of contamination transporting bags down intk my basement or is it fine since the bags are semi-vacuum sealed? Thanks
As long as you unload them while theyre still hot you will be ok.
Any chance you could do a video on how you load this? Do you use some sort of tray at the bottom to keep your bags from touching your valve and heating elements?
My next video will be a follow up to this one. Just to clarify, the barrel is only to produce steam. No blocks get loaded into it. It's only purpose is to pump steam into another vessel of your choice. I pump mine into a 300 gallon cattle trough like many of the popular growers. It's a perfect mid range set up until one can afford a large autoclave.
Hey Joe, thanks for this brother, it's awesome. I'm building one in a couple days and as my parts come in I came across a question: do you use any special kind of fitting or gasket for securing the float valve to the barrel? It seems like all the other fittings have those weldless bulkheads but the float valve doesn't so I'm wondering if I am missing something here. Thanks!
I just used the fitting that came with the float valve. The fitting sits above the water line so it doesnt leak. I do however use plumbers tape on the outside of the barrel so the connections dont leak
@@cactushatmushrooms3677 thanks Joe!
Do you not use the the gasket ring because it’s so hot
I believe adding a cup of vinegar every now and then help to reduce calcium build up🤙
Very possible. Even better would be an inline filter going to the barrel.
Hey @cactushatmushrooms3677 what fittings should i use on the braided line to the barrel? I've ordered everything but that already. Thanks for all your help!
I believe I used a hose connection for a washing machine
Good ideal I think imma just put a barrel over a fire and same some money on power though
I've seen it done that way before. Works great!
Bro you sound very similar to the YT mechanic Scotty Kilmer 😂 But good video with great info
I've been getting that a lot. Wish I was as popular!
I have suggestion for leakage problem.
You must rubber vad mean, rubber ring red and black color inside and outside to block leakage.
Use sealer paste, before placing it.
You observe stainless steel electric cattle, you will understand.
No need of buying stainless steel drum for steaming. Use wood at baseline to spread of electric current. Keep teseter to check electricity flow as a precaution.
Another suggestion is for rusting of iron drum.
First
Purchase dry coaltar used for making road. You heat in drum of 20 liter by putting on fire. You take one cloth wrapped it around wood. You paint your iron drum with hot coaltar. It doesn't smell after some time. Last longer. Don't use wet coaltar it's useless.
Second
Paint your drum antiwater paint used for making wood bathtub. Water doesn't stick to paint. You ask hardware shops or surf on net.
I have watched vedio,people have made bathroom inside van and used this paint to protect wood from water. Thanks for such nice idea.
Namh shivay.
Dear friend,
If ever you will notice electric current is flowing on the drum, that means your electric rod is having cracks, you purchase one magnify glass and check broken parts. In such cases please change the electric rod.
Another suggestion is.
Suppose if you want to use for longer periods, the electric socket becomes hotter and melt, In such cases use ceramic plugs for connectivity.
Another option is ...keep extra rod connections, keep closing rod after one or two hours usage. Keep it close for hour to 30 minutes. The electric connection will not become hot and melt. I have received lots of problems with electricity, I use wooden stick for closing and opening of switches.
Namh shivay.
Dear friend,
I want you experiment with steam instead of fogger for fast production of mashroom during winter.
The plants also want little bit hotter atmosphere.
Namh shivay.
Appreciate ya.
Question Joe, why do you need a 30 gallon barrel for the steam. Would something smaller not work just as well. Thanks, John.....Punta Gorda
The main reason is that it was modeled after this Eric Myers version. A smaller vessel could work but may be more difficult to fit multiple elements to achieve enough power to steam larger containers. There are people however that use honey pots with one 9kw element and do fine. I prefer the extra kw of two elements so the substrate gets to temp quickly before fermentation takes hold of the substrate. Hope this helps.
Hey Joe, What kind of hose are you using to run from the barrel to the trough?
Its a silicone hose. There should be a link in description.
wiring the dedicated lines requires 2 double breaker slots, 4 slots in total. You probably don't have this. You can also get a special kind of breaker that has 4 switches, two and two connected, that only take up a double breaker slot, but those are *expensive* and are only available with certain breaker box brands. Wiring the breakers into the breaker box will require you to expose very deadly and freely open power strips and you will either need to turn off mains power at the breaker panel during installation or risk frying yourself to a crisp with a very short yet very painful death.
Other than that, for 5500 watts on 240v is 23 amperes or 25 amperes on 220v. You will require a 30 to 35 amp breaker at least to power those elements, but be sure to use the manufacturer's recommendations. I recommend #6 AWG gauge wire for the line voltage for redundancy. It's a chonky boy so expect it to be hard to bend and rather unwieldly. Use electrical whips or conduit to sheath your wire. Always use a double-pole switch rated for high amperes. A single-pole switch will turn the system off, but the wires will always be live, making maintenance scarier. Dedicated disconnect switches are the safest, but a breaker switch without ampere protection can work too. However, in the HVAC field, I've had a history of breakers being used as disconnect switches being turned off and then never turning on again, requiring a repair, so I'm partial to disconnect switches myself.
Also, if you don't know any of what I just said
yeah, go hire an electrician real fast, and spend the cost of labor for the safety and warranty of a professional's work.
Appreciate your experience and input. We currently use 45 amp breakers for each.
When you say "putting it against the bulk head fitting" at 1:30 is your fitting threaded? How does the heating element stay in? Thanks!
These brewers fittings are threadless and press together. A tri clamp keeps them pressed together. The heating element also functions in this fashion. At one point in the video I show how they press together. Parts list in description should still be current.
Hey, thank you for making a great video like this. Could you tell me how do you get your bags to the lab without contamination after sterilizing?
I have personally never experienced contamination from letting bags cool outside. I know there are other channels that claim is the case, but I simply haven't found it to be an issue. Remember there are third world countries that grow mushrooms the same way outside on DIRT and are successful.
@@cactushatmushrooms3677 thank you very much for the response. How do you carry the sterilized substrates into your lab or inoculation area?
@@kemaltasyurek I load them into wheeled carts and bring them into my lab
@@cactushatmushrooms3677 thank you for responding, you are so kind. Keep up the work, watching.
@@kemaltasyurek no problem!
Hi Joe, thanks for the video! I'm working on a similar build just north of you in Pasco County. I didn't notice in the B-roll or hear in your overview you mention using a timer, thermostat, or PID controller in your setup. Are you just plugging the elements in and running at full power (5500W x 2) for the entire 24 hours? My apologies if I missed something.
Nice to hear from you David. I definitely forgot to add B-Roll of the steamer itself running sorry about that. I currently dont use any timer, thermostat or PID controller. I do long runs like you mentioned. In speaking with other cultivators around the country over the years I learned there are many that did the measurement once and I just simply follow those times they recommend.
I currently steam for 18 hours with a load of 140 blocks at a time and experience no contamination. It may work with even less time. The goal is 200 F for 6-8 hours of core temperature. If you want to be sure you can measure using a temp probe in a bag. I just havent found the need to measure it myself as greater minds have already done the work.
@@cactushatmushrooms3677 Right on. Thank you again!
RRRREEEV UP YOUR MUSHROOMS!

I got the 1/2 inch barb and the 1 inch hose and it seems like a pretty crazy gap. Do I need to find hose with a different inner diameter?
It seems the link to the barb has changed. It should be a 1 inch barb with 1.5npt for the TRI clamp
Hi Joe. I’d love to do this. I live off grid in the outback of Australia and I don’t have enough solar power to do what you’ve done. I’m going to do it with gas, which I know is less efficient. I’ve read so many articles on the amount of time needed for sterilisation. I’m thinking about staying out with 14 hrs once 98+ degrees is obtained. Your thoughts are appreciated. 👌🏻
You can most definitely use propane. I'm fact I have a great farm that emailed me some time ago that does just that with great success! The general answer to your question is a core temperature of 200f for 6 to 8 hours. Use a temp probe in one of your blocks to measure.
I am off grid in Portugal just getting started, any ideas on how you would set up a gas burner in this barrel design? Have you looked into the possiblity of fermenting spent substrate for bio gas? Thanks for any input, Danny
@@Melloshroom simply just set up the barrel on top of a propane gas burner. As far as the bio digester I don't know anything about that space.
I am having difficulty finding that 1 1/2" brewer fitting. Any brand recommendations?
List in description of video
What do you cover the trough with to keep in steam?
Heavy duty tarp and blanket. I did a follow up video for it also
Damn! This is a game changer for commercial growing, or those who sell 'ready to use' filled grow bags. Those things over here in the UK are expensive as hell, like £12-15 for a small bag for what's essentially, a £1 tops value in actual product then YOU still have to pay your own postage which for bulky heavy bags, can cost just as much as the goddamn bags themselves.
This would pay for Itself within a decent day on ebay/etsy, then a little advertising, $50--100 on a graphic designer for packaging and advertising and a domain name and you have yourself a ready made professional mushroom business ☺️
Very true! You don't even have to grow mushrooms for this to be profitable. Maybe it's something you should do.
What lid did you use for the 300 gallon trough?
Tarp and blankets. If you wanted to have something nicer even better. I did a follow up video you should check out with common questions.
Do you need 3 faze power to run to 5000w elements or can you run it of normal house mains?
Im currently on a normal house main. Using 40 amp breakers.
What tool do you prefer to read your substrate temp?
Hey Alicia this unit has treated me very well and the probe has lasted a year straight so far which is crazy.

Will this work for grain bags as well ?
Negative. You'll want to use pressure for grain bags. Although there are some farms that do it and even sell it which I dont view highly.
Instead of using the weight, think I could just lock my lid in place? Or will the pressure build up too high
Its good to have a fail safe in case pressure starts building. Some people install pressure relief valves.
Do you use a p PID control?
Nope! But I sure would love to set one up.
Hello, I'm Leo. I'm projecting a mushroom farm in Santa Maria, South Brazil. I'm stydyning to build a pasteurizer but I don't have the money to get an inox barrel. How long does it last the normal barrel? I don't want to spend money on the elementes etc and risc to lose them due the normal barrel. Thank you for your support. regards, Leo.
Check your instagram
Was there a reason the water intake seems so high up the barrel? How high does the water level need to sit above the elements?
I drilled the hole for the intake to ensure the elements would be submerged. Truthfully you only need the water to cover the elements a little. My water line sits several inches above the elements which makes it take longer to produce stream but I don't mind waiting an extra 10 minutes
The 2 heating elements he uses are 4500W which is 4.5KW so 4.5 units of electricity in Australia 1 unit cost 0.3 cents and hour. So a run for 20h to sterilize 40 bags will cost you. (4.5x0.3)x2 = $2.7. Times that by 20h, 2.7x20= $54 a run for 40bags. Do 3 runs a week that's $162 just for your barrel. Add to that expenses your air-conditioning for your grow room and you got your self a $1000+ a month just for those two items. I run mine on a 2.2KW full power for 1h and reducer the power to 70% for 19h and it works fine.
I'm not good with math in terms of what it costs in electricity, but keep in mind the trough holds a lot more than 40 blocks. If you really wanted you could fit 160 blocks in a cattle trough (this one is 300 gallons). Making the $54 more than worth it.
Youre absolutely right about reducing the power. You could unplug one element once your blocks are up to temp. Just make sure youre measuring core temp with a probe.
@@cactushatmushrooms3677 ohh I that it was just the 205l barrel. It make more worth while for 160 blocks. Did you insulate the cattle barrel? And does it have a lid?
@@jeromejalibat3951 I havent had to since its so hot where I am, but its a good idea and ill get around to it eventually. The lid is just a tarp and blankets. In my most recent video I go over the set up more.
Hi, thanks for you clear video ;) I'm actually in the process of doing one these days.
I saw the chinese Steam generator next to you at the starting of your video. Waht do you think about it? Is it worth buy something like this? thank you
Ha sorry, actually I just saw your first video about it ;) Thanks for your work!!
@@jcfloydsarria8091 my pleasure. I hate those things personally but they work for many people
@@cactushatmushrooms3677 Will definitely build my own, I already bought all the spare parts :) All the best for your projects!
What did you line your chamber with?
My grow room is lined with panda film
Do you run a PID controller?
I do not. Next one I build I may.
I built this out and it working great for a while but now my plugs keep melting. Just bought a new one and it melted after one cook. Any idea what could be happening?
I've had plugs melt before, but never after one run. Make sure your connections are good and tight after several runs. The heating and cooling can loosen them. Also consider insulating your barrel, especially near the plugs.
Cook time was the only reason I clicked this and you held out 😅
Haha sorry friend. 200f core temp for 6 to 8 hours
Can you use two 120v heaters instead?
You can but it may not make enough steam for larger containers like a trough. I would look into the ez bake barrel if you're wanting 120v
Hey do you have a drain on the trough? And how low are your bags,like what screen are you using to set them on? Just a bricks length tall to set the screen on? Awesome
The trough has a drain. I have bricks turned on their side to maximize the height of the false bottom. I use metal wire closet shelving cut to size and thats what lays on the bricks.
@@cactushatmushrooms3677 awesome..do you have to drain while using or just afterwards?
@@killerkennyas I keep the drain open at all times in the trough. Otherwise it will start filling up with water possibly soaking the bottom row of blocks.
@@cactushatmushrooms3677 cool
.thanks man..pitta curiosity, how much water do you think runs off in a hour? Around a gallon? Never really heard anybody talk about that,was jsut curious..
@@killerkennyas not sure and wouldn't even know how to calculate that without running it just to find out
no gasket on the tri-clamp??
The elements come with gaskets you use since they're under the water line as does the drain. The steam outlet and water intake to the float don't have them and aren't needed. Sorry if I forgot to mention that.
Quick question, can I just use a propane burner 160K-200K BTU. I'm looking for some portability.
Not sure of the needed btu but I've had someone message me their set up and they used propane with success
@@cactushatmushrooms3677 - Cool! I just got my 55 gallon barrel today, but it will be a couple of weeks before I test it out. Still need to buy some additional supplies.
Hi, how do you know if the temperature is good inside the boiler? It seems there is not controller.
A controller would be nice to have but it isn't needed. Measure the temperature in your substrate with a temperature probe. You want a core temperature of 200f for 6-8 hours
@@cactushatmushrooms3677 thank you for the response 🙏
How long do you run this unit for when full of your substrate blocks?
18 hours. You will have to use temp probes to determine how long for your climate. I did a follow up to this video you should check out.
@@cactushatmushrooms3677 thank you for putting so much time into this video and promptly responding! We just started our mushroom business. We are giving our sterilizer a go this next Sunday. We are excited! We built it just like you said to and it heated up nicely so far. We will put blocks in it for the real test. Thanks again!
@@SC-bg2lv my pleasure. Best of luck to you.
I don’t remember hearing. How many gallons is your trough?
300 gallons
Do you think I’ll have problems keeping temp with a single 1500w element? Got the one off Amazon called “DERNORD 2 Inch (OD64) Tri-clamp 120V 1500W Foldback Heating Element Electric Water Heater with Low Watt Density”
I do have a pid, would you recommend sticking the probe inside a bag while sterilizing or just somewhere in the middle of the drum? Thanks
Probe in the middle of a block because that's what you need to measure. An element that small would work to pump into a 55gal drum possibly but wouldn't be enough for a 300 gallon trough
@@cactushatmushrooms3677 forgot to mention that it is just a 55 gal drum so hopefully it’ll be alright.. So you recommend I set the pid at 200 degrees Fahrenheit and run it for 20-24 hours, correct? It’s a bit nerve wracking using a new sterilizer for the first time, don’t want my spawn to go to waste but would like to keep the cook time as short as possible too😅
@@cactushatmushrooms3677 I based everything off oak and spores recommendations so if his was underpowered I worry mine would be the same? Although I did have to make some changes being here in the US, I had to get the 120 v heating element.
@@qwqwueis you'll be fine in a 55 gallon drum. You want a core temp of 200 degrees F for 6-8 hours. Run it until you achieve that and be confident.

How much Degree Fahrenheit / Celsius should the Hose withstand? Best Regards
Enough to withstand steam. The one I use is in the description.
Peewee hermans brother
Hello, is the container in which you have the mushroom substrate hermetically sealed? How big is it and how many hours does it take to pasteurize everything? Excuse my English but I am writing to you from Sardinia
It's a 300 gallon cattle trough. It's not sealed, I simply throw a tarp and blankets over the blocks while they are being steamed. Time depends on different factors but I steam mine for 18 hours
Ok waw, and you just need one barrel steamer to be able to sterilize 300 gallons? Waw
@@stefanocau4367 this barrel steamer is powerful enough to steam a much larger container also if you can't get a trough
Ok thanks for giving me more information, I definitely build it
Great video! Question this will sterilize grain correct?
This is for atmospheric sterilization of bulk substrate. For sterilization of bulk spawn you'll want to use pressure.
@@cactushatmushrooms3677 so u couldn't use this to sterilize grain just over a course of like 20hrs at low psi ?

where's the control unit? what maintains pressure and temperature?
This is a no pressure way to sterilize called atmospheric sterilization. It's just heat over a long period of time. No control unit needed, however, a pid controller would make it perfect.

You can but you may experience higher rates of contamination
I noticed you are not running a PID or any kind of temperature controller. Have you had any problems with that? Those things are expensive and if I can get by without buying one right now I totally will.
A PID is ideal but I didnt and still dont use one. I just measure my cooks with a temp probe in the center of a block and turn it off when done.
Holy cow bro are you related to Scotty Kilmer 😂
I'm the shorter, uglier and less talented version of Scotty.
seem dangerous. does the heating element don't produce electric shock
It doesn't. But the barrel does get very hot so I recommend insulating.
