Moist PFTek Cake
    #5026475 - 12/06/05 11:08 PM (18 years, 3 months ago)

My cake is still in the jar, it has not fully colonized, but already i see some moisture on the inside of the jar where the white myc is already. it has been about two weeks since it was inoculated

could it be a contam?


also, i left the aluminum foil on top the of holes from the injection. should i have removed it?

THanks.

could be a contam but with no pic there cant really be a definite answer(could just be heat that the myc is giving off and making it moist)
you can remove the foil as long as you put dry verm on top as a contam barrier

Oh okay. I notice that the incubating bin i put it in smells a bit funny now. is that normal? it smells a bit sour but floury.


Is that okay?

Sour is a bad sign. Whoof the jars themselves. Not too much though, just enough to tell. If you smell sour, wave bye-bye to the jars.

I don't know without a pic, dude. But if it has a noticeable, but unoffensive odor, it's probably ok. If it's sour you will go "WOOOFF!" in most cases. A little odor is normal.

Okay, well i've pint pointed the odor down to an almost EXACT smell. It smells like 5% Sour Cream.
Here are the pics I could get .. Terrible quality though sorry. But it's what i could do.

Oh, but in terms of smell too. It smells like 5% sour cream. Is that what it should smell like?

THanks.
