Thank you Justin! Such clear instructions, really appreciate it
You got it! Thanks for watching
Thanks for the video! I am trying to think ahead with own efforts and this is one of the next steps I need to take.
You can do it!
Whats under the blanket on the big tank? What is the lid made from?
Howdy - We were using an element that the 220v cable plugs into similar to what you have in the video. The connection would often cause a short and melt the cable. It might be worth it to get a heating element that you can hardwire instead of the cable that plugs into it, these also come with watertight fittings. feel free to reach out if you would like some more details.
Thanks for making videos like this and sharing the knowledge! Your hard work is appreciated.
Thanks for watching and the connection!
I actually consulted with my electrician and he thought it was a really bad idea to have the elements hard wired so we didn’t go that route.
Yeah listen to your electrician! thanks justin@@longbeachmushrooms
Thanks for being a normal guy and explaining things instead of a mushroom scientist
Haha thanks man!
Cool video bro, thank you this was very inspiring
Good video, thanks.
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
Hey man can show inside the trough do you need to spread the steam ??
Hey man great, detailed video. You explain things very clearly and it makes it easy to understand from a noob's perspective. Does this work for supplemented substrate? Like master's mix or wheat bran supplemented substrate? or is it only for straw or other non-supplemented substrate?
Does it matter that the barrel is rusting out? Does the rust get all over the bags? I always wondered about the barrels rusting out.
What type of probes do you use?
Im curious if I could feasibly run this setup outside when the temps are super cold. Im a little nervous about running this in my garage for fear of burning down my house. Thoughts?
Thanks justin! Where do you get your media from? soy hulls and hard word pellets?
Hey Justin, I was wondering what you use for a lid for the trough? I use an aluminum backed insulation but it degrades over time. What's worked for you? Thanks man!
how did you rigg that Helios 11at 14:52. THe box has taken 2 outlets and 15 amps each on both sides. Will one outlet handle 30 amps? how is this box connected to the hot wire for the pressure steamer?
I'm not sure why he appears to use two smart switches. I built mine with a 120v 2 pole contactor relay inside a 6" plastic junction box. It's activated by one smart switch. I'm using a Feit smart switch, but I may buy a Kasa or other brand, Feit smart switches are unreliable.
Can grain spawn be sterilized like this?
No. This is just for the substrate.
Can you sterilize grain in a steam barrel?
