Oh, holy shit. I see what you're saying about keeping costs down... $200CDN for a 23 quart Presto?!
Guess the good ol' consumerist US has its perks, too.
Good luck on that search.

I'm not too familiar with different makes and models. The 23 quart presto fits 10 ball mason quart jars, for reference... only ever used this one for 12 years.
Coir out the bag is fine. The one thing I'd say to look for is any additives. I use pet store coir, for reptiles and such. I believe I heard horticulture use sometimes has salts or (might be wrong here) trichoderma added to it.
Yeah, so, (you might know better than I on this one) I believe trichoderma acts almost as a predator to mushroom mycelium.
It's the one mold (in my experience/understanding) that can compromise a fully colonized axenic substrate... and usually will at some point in time.. after however many flushes, when the mycelium colony starts to weaken.
I don't have any experience with sterilizing such coirs. I would be very skeptical about using it even if I put it through the pressure cooker for a few hours at 18psi.
Here's the stuff I use. Each of those bricks expands to about 8 - 9 quarts, properly hydrated. So, 24 - 27 quarts out of each package. Plenty to get you started.
Just saw your comment about Amazon.ca. That's my general point of reference. $11 for that zoo med coir isn't too bad, I pay $7 if I'm not buying in bulk.
And... criminal... Bezos...
Sorry if I'm dropping a little too much detail here. I'm sure you're just looking for yes/no, which, feel free to ask again when you have everything in front of you.
I like to load up on theory to develop a mindset and then poke holes in that theory once I'm in practice.
He was talking to meDid you eat a few mushrooms today 1d1? Outside gawkin at the birds? lol
What are you using for grain, rye?
Like this one?Whats everyones thought about using a weighted pressure cooker vs a dial one? I found a used weighted 22 qt for sale locally.
LmaoSurprisingly enough, they're prone to being little, fat surface blobs.
But everyone has their taste, right?
I bet they get told, 'it's nice,' a lot.
i mean this in the absolutely best way, but I get the distinct impression that if it is a fascination to @Dirtbag, he is a hungry beast for all pertinent info, down to minutiae.Awesome info dude, i appreciate it. No amount of info is too much, im soaking this stuff up like a dry sponge right now.
The one i found doesnt have a gauge on it, just the weight in the middle.Like this one?View attachment 1053210perfect:)
