55 Gallon Pasteurizer.mp4

How to build a 55 gallon pasteurizing tank for mushroom substrate. This tek uses an HDPE 55 gallon drum from food-manufacturing and an electric water-heater element. Particular focus is spent on prepping the plastics for bonding due to the inherently low-bonding nature of HDPE in order to get a decent, drip-free seal around the heating element. Several safety concerns are addressed in regards to high-wattage and water.

check out uniseals for water tight seals on barrels they work like a charm, you can get them at aquaticeco I use them to build aquaponic systems out of 55 gal drums and I have never had a leak with them...
