Brass is the word you wanted when wiring your plug..🤔 Closer sounding to black and is what the terminal lug on the hot side of your circuit is made of..🧐 Or bronze, if that's your preferable way to remember it..🤷♂️ Great design! Easy to follow and build on. I can think of a couple components to add that would improve safety and provide more control of it's operation but I'm sure it works fine as is... Thanks for the content!
Seems like 50% of this video is missing. Would be great to see a Part 2 to finish this. I thought I’d seen all the videos on this, but saw this today. Where’s the happy ending with a working barrel??? C’mon man … do it! 👍😬
You know I never really planned on releasing this but I also never really planned on filming it again. But I've had so many questions, this version answers most of them so I figured it was good enough. The only thing missing is insulating the barrel. That can be done a hundred different ways.
Yeah these are great. I remember watching a lot of people building them back in 2015 when i started my farm. Gave up after a year and a half due to rental problems but these were out next step up from the 3x 941s and 2x 75xs. Im thinking if i had it to do again i would put 2 elements in a keg then run a sanitary fitting off the top with emergency release valves and regular ball valves then i could have more than one barrel running at a time off of one element. Just need to stagger the start and wait till one barrel gets to temp before opening the other valves. Another alternative is a steam generator for a steam shower, they can run on timers.
Would be great to see Part 2 with a complete working barrel. I’ve seen a lot of these but I really like the way you step-by-step us through the process!
Nice, but I wouldn't drill any holes directly above the element if you are using a regular steel barrel. It will rust with time and potentially leak water straight onto the element housing.
I'd say is you picked the WORST place to put the ground screw, precisely above the heater. It should be more to one side.... If there's any leak you are making sure that your connections will get wet...
I just made a version of your ez bake barrel. No insulation, a dedicated 15 amp breaker and 22 hr test resulted in 142 degrees Fahrenheit. I use a 3k water heater element and # 10 wire. (hoping i am getting at least 1.1 k watts out of it) To pasteurize a substrate for mushroom growing I need at least 160 degrees don't I? Next version I am insulating, plugging 1 of the 2 1/4 inch pressure release holes i put in the lid and praying for 160. What temperatures are you getting with your version? Thanks again for sharing your design. Much appreciated.
Literally just built this almost exactly same build, plugged it In and nothing happened but some bubbles on the elements I even used the same plug, Cable, and element.
how did you get your lid to not leak steam? I cant get my drums to close tight enough at the lip of the lid to not shoot the steam everywhere ruining my insulation
I'm running a 240v 4500w element that is wired for the same plug into a standard 120vac outlet in one of my barrels and it's working well. My math puts it at about 1300w which is about as high as I would go. Do this at your own risk.
So just so I understand- I could use a 240volt element and ad- i don’t know, 12 inches of water and I’d be safe? No need for a float? Asking because running out of garage and I could use a hose and float now but eventually it’s going to freeze
You need a false bottom in the barrel. You should secure the power cord to the barrel so if something pulls on the cord it doesn't rip the wires off, like a bolt and zip tie. Also you should have a thermostat. What you made no one should try to take credit for developing.
I agree with the false bottom but the video was too long as it was. This video was in production for a long time and it just covers the basics. Most individuals grasp the concept fairly easy. How can I help you understand it easier?
It does a pretty good job. I don't open it to see how aggressive it is but you should reach internal block temp in about 17 hours. Full pasteurization in about 24.
My mom and I thank you for the plug
Send her my love
Thank you from belgium

Please can u do a follow up video on this... After 2 years are u still using it

100% These are fantastic. Thank you for pointing me towards them!
Miss you brother
Thanks for this! I finally feel confident enough to build one! Mushlove from TCI!
Let me know if you have any questions!
Thank you for the video, it seems I always learn something new even with something this simple.
Best video iv seen for the drum sterilizer but is there going to be a follow up video?
I hope so some day! I put this together mostly for a discord server I am in and we have a lot of questions about it
But yeah, I hope you do a deep dive in the future

The point is to keep the holes above the water level. I dab of RTV I've never had any issues
You could of put the ground wire off to the side a bit so if it does leak a little it won't drip on your element
That's a great suggestion! We use hotpods now. They are element enclosures that the ground wire attaches to. They work pretty well
Hi, there is no links in description
Shouldnt there be a pressure release valve on the lid with a PSi gauge?
How well do these work in the winter? I live in Montana and gets cold for a long time
How long do these barrels last compared to stainless steel barrels? What's different with these compared to stainless steel?
I'd say is you picked the WORST place to put the ground screw, precisely above the heater. It should be more to one side.... If there's any leak you are making sure that your connections will get wet...
The ground screw is mounted at the water line. It is intentional.

Thanks again for sharing your design. Much appreciated.
Did this end up working for you?
Literally just built this almost exactly same build, plugged it In and nothing happened but some bubbles on the elements I even used the same plug, Cable, and element.
It takes up to 7 hours to come up to temp and generate steam
Awesome video! What kind of time do you run on them, would 12 hours surfice?
24 hour
I dont see links in the descriptions
Video file seems to be corrupted. Can you reupload with full video plz?
That's actually it. The only thing left is to insulate the barrel.
how did you get your lid to not leak steam? I cant get my drums to close tight enough at the lip of the lid to not shoot the steam everywhere ruining my insulation
Let it leak, you didn't want pressure.
what about the water element? Also how do you extract the steam? Can this be done with a hose? what mechanism should the water be added with?
Just fill it with a house 6 inches. That's enough water for a 24 hour run
Do you lock the lid or add a weight? What do you do to let steam escape? How much steam would need to escape to avoid pressurizing the barrel?
I'd also like to know this too.
Yes, lock the lid but put a small hole about 1/4 inch so pressure didn't build up
What i needed thanks
That very good
If I wanted to use a carbide tip hole saw bit instead of a stepper bit, what size would I want to use?
Does the nut come with the heating element or do i have to buy it seperately?
Thank you Sir
thank you so much
So, in order to sterilize grain spawn in these barrels.
How long
And what's the maximum pressure these can withstand
You should not sterilize grains spawn in an EZ Bake
Can you put a bigger heating element in there and still use the same plug ? Sorry if you answered this, but there was alot to take in here.
I'm running a 240v 4500w element that is wired for the same plug into a standard 120vac outlet in one of my barrels and it's working well. My math puts it at about 1300w which is about as high as I would go. Do this at your own risk.
Where can I buy this bucket?🥰

Probably not. The rate of evaporation is most likely not linear.
You need a false bottom in the barrel. You should secure the power cord to the barrel so if something pulls on the cord it doesn't rip the wires off, like a bolt and zip tie. Also you should have a thermostat. What you made no one should try to take credit for developing.

Does that 1000w heating element get hot enough to bring ~5 inches of water to a boil within an hour or two?
It does a pretty good job. I don't open it to see how aggressive it is but you should reach internal block temp in about 17 hours. Full pasteurization in about 24.
How long does it take to pasteurized the bags?
24 hours
found ya 👍
Is this a steamer? Where do you put the substrate bags?
It's an in barrel steamer. You can put 20 10lb bags inside the barrel
@@jessecampbell5944 this is revolutionary!
@@Tito_vibes it really is. We have a small mushroom growing community at least 20 of us now run these in their operation.
Good
This barrel can 15 psi?? (1.5bar) for sterilizer??
121 Celsius
No. Atmosphere pressure only
But you didn't finish ! 😲

Can u do grainspawn in these
No grain spawn needs to be pressure sterilized. This is just bulk pasteurization
Does oats ?
No
Why don't people just use a dishwasher?
There are no stupid questions…
Costs too much money to run, and it doesn't run for long enough.
Wtf? You are just plugging the element straight into the wall with 120v??? No pid? This seems so dangerous!!
Yep, sure am. No PID, no float.
@@jessecampbell5944 At least use a ground fault receptacle.
bro how are ALL of your teeth all janky and crooked??
I don't know if I missed it, but how many holes/ how big of a hole do you recommend for allowing steam to escape?
