I'm from Africa bro And we don't have such thing in my country so I'm deeply intrested Thanks for all the lessons I really really appreciate your channel Wish you all the best Cheers
Cheers Tom, enjoying a beer while I watch this - a key ingredient for successful mushroom growing. How else can we get through this right? keep up the good work mate
Hi! How many liters of water holds the steam generator? A bigger tank will increase eficiency or decrease? How many liters of water are spent in one hour?
Congratulations on the video. However, I am building a sterilizer on a 55 gallon barrel, 3.5 kW element and PID control. The Bubbas Barrels manual says that I will have to set the 93 celsius and the time of 1080 minutes or 18 hours for a good sterilization. According to your explanation with beer, rsrstrs, can I decrease this time?
Well done Tom, thanks for sharing! Just to double check, once it heats up to 95C do you keep it there for 12 hours? How long does it take to cool down before you inoculate?
You know, just cause I’m already here, do you know a quick way to find online or where ever that I can find how to learn the formula you used to figure out the efficiency of Your sterilizer... so I can do mine. Thx Again and Keep bringing us the Business behind the scenes info you’ve been doing man, sure helps a lot!!
I have a video about calculating boiler efficiency. Check my uploads. if your boiler is insulated properly, then it should be almost as efficient as the element inside it.
Hey Tom, love your vids. Quick question. Your PID controller. Are you running your rtd probe in your large spawn tub with a set point of 99 degrees or is the probe in the boiler tank? I’m assuming it’s in the spawn tub and the water in the tank is boiling most of the time? Also are you running pid, on/off control or is it just temperature indication? Thanks mate.
You're coming to a point where you should think about lift assisst. I bet you're build like an ox right now but lifting that many bags out an into this container cant be good in the long term..
Good on yah mate!
Thanks mate!

Thanks for all the lessons
I really really appreciate your channel
Wish you all the best

Thanks for sharing your videos.
Incredible set up you have.
👍👍🎯
Thanks for watching!
Impressive! How many lbs of mushrooms will these bags give you? How much per lb do you sell them for?
good job man!
Thanks!
Have you been thinking to make sterilizer From top loading freezer? Insulation on those pretty good

Wouldn't be faster to attach a temperature probe going inside a test bag for a couple of batches?

Hey brother just wondering if you use this set up for your grainspawn? Thanks for the great videos cheers👍
That's awesome man:) Is it the same design as the blueprint your selling on the website?
Yes, it is! The boiler any way, I don't have blueprints for the tank.
Hi Tom, What are the dimensions of your sterilising tank. I purchased your blueprints for the steam generator and they are awesome.
Cheers
Internal is 1380 x 770 x 770. There is a false floor which maybe adds another 120 to the height.
What about efficiency and loss in the system. With it cooling off outside over night. That would need a few beers to work out
The tank is very efficient. I think it might radiate around 200watts over the whole thing once its at 95c.
You should show us how you built this beast.
I have a video on it!
@@OakandSpore can you link it for us in this vid please?
how about making this solar powered, or at least assisted (thermal solar, not PV)

What about that Chinese autoclave? Don't you rely on it for substrate?
No, I use that for spawn.
Hey Tom, i am waiting to see your video about the Chinese autoclave when you run it . cheers
Well done Tom, thanks for sharing! Just to double check, once it heats up to 95C do you keep it there for 12 hours? How long does it take to cool down before you inoculate?
I keep it there for 24 hours. You could do 12 hours if you heat it to 99c I would think.
where is the tank temp sensor located?
How can I, in the States get yours or equal to PID for sterilizer?

Oak and Spore Mushroom Farm right on brother thx alot
Hi, nice Videos!!! Do you need help on your Mushroomfarm? I want to leave Germany and i have knowllege in Mushroom cultivation. No Joke!!!

Probe in on top of the steam tank, so the boiler will run until the whole tank gets up to temperature.
