Too much heat inside the bag will condensate the inside of bag which will start creating anaerobic environment that lots of molds and stinky bacteria love. From the picture you aren't spacing them apart from each other enough. They should never touch up against each other like that. Bags will produce heat and co2 themselves so if you keep the room conditioned generally somewhere as closest that you can possibly get to 60F it will help keep that from happening. You can rig up a thermostat or temperature controller with a cooling system to help keep that temperature in check. Too many metabolites is often a sign of contamination somewhere in bag but a little bit is normal, too much sweat is indicator that your bags are getting too hot inside which can spur up issues. Good luck and keep on spawning! Hope this helps.

if using a water pump to recirculate water in another reservoir with ice it could be better than using a garden hose

also, saw mountainview mushrooms on youtube add lots of pex tubing throughout a stock tank like this and when heating cycle was done they cycled cold water through pex tubing to speed up the cool down time...thought that was pretty interesting.

Hello mushfam!
That steam generator episode was great! Thanks for that video. Those steam generators are getting sold out now. lol!
Has anyone tried these electric water softeners to pretreat the water before entering steam generator to protect element?

here is a link to example:
https://a.co/d/9kFHmKc
but if if link doesn't work or want to search it up on amazon instead or if having trust issues with links these days, it is listed as "iSpring ED2000 Whole House Water Descaler, Alternative Electronic Salt-Free Hard Water Conditioner, Reduces Limescale Prevent Deposits Build-up, Different from a Water Softener"...would this work as good as the inline water descaler product Eric mentioned?

I'm hoping to pipe in steam to a 300gal stock tank after it is as insulated as I can possibly make it to be and add supports put in on the bottom of tank to keep bags off from the bottom. Probably find a flat bottom heavy duty floor dolly to cart it around. I found one again on the all too convenient amazon website that is almost the entire length and width of the stock tank rated for 2,000lbs. Hopefully that is enough weight capacity to work.

After watching nearly all of the videos, this one is the only one I’ve heard that the volume level doesn’t sound as balanced and consistent! The mic on the right is hotter than Eriks on the left or placed closer than Eriks is. Besides that, such a great episode! Such great content! I’m loving all of it

Great video indeed! I have encountered this stoma issue before and wasn’t quite sure what was goin on. This has been very informative and helpful!

I hope you don’t mind some hopefully helpful bit of advice from a new fan and subscriber, the sound levels on this video are off balanced at least on this video so it makes it be a distraction for me from the actual listening experience.

Maybe in the future before posting try to balance just the volume on the audio levels at least on the speaking parts so that I don’t have to turn down the volume when loud laughs or too hot of mic hit comes through. Everything else is solid and wonderful. Keep it up fellas! 🫡

I don’t think the other videos have the same issue but I’ve only seen three so far. 

Once again thank you so much for all this great content!
