Using PC For Acid Boils

[JustCurious.]

Hey All

Anyone ever use a PC without glass jars for acid boils ?

Used glass jars the other day and 2 different types and both ended up with small cracks in them, maybe they were poor quality jars but it was all I could find that were the correct size and fitted the dimesions of my PC.

Planning on using shredded for this (have heard powder can clog valves), and filling to a suitable height with acidified water and doing 5 x 1 hour @ 15 psi boils.

Sounds okay to me Does anyone else do this with a PC or do you all use mason jars ?

Thanks in advance

The downside is not being able to stir and the pressure causing the bark to rise to the top where the water can't get to. Also I found it was more the big shredded pieces that got stuck not the powder, this has caused my pc valve to start spitting a litter bit of water with the steam.

The benefit is the higher temp lyeses the cells more than standard open air boils.

I give my PC a ruddy good shake here and there during the cook.

I found only 30mins was enough due to the sheer pressure and temp causing the juices to go in to the water. Keep a check on your water color to see when the bark is spent (for me spent (clear) after 3x30mins at 15psi)
