strange verm
    #8254884 - 04/08/08 10:23 AM (15 years, 11 months ago)

i've been trying to knock up pf-tek jars but i always get a contam. it's not mold, more like a fermenting smell, the brf mix turns darker in the jar and nothing grows in it.

i've thought about everything and i noticed this batch of verm has no smell at all, as opposed to previous batches. can verm carry on contams?

i always boil jars through.

verm will carry little contams, and thats readily destroyed.

honestly, the contams (and fermenting smell) are probably from improperly sterilized jars.

Have you tried pressure cooking your jars?

Sometimes you can get batches of rice with high endospore counts that boiling won't kill off

i acquired an old pc and am testing it as we speak. i will innoc one jar and leave the other be, will incubate at the same temp side by side and see what's going on.

now that i think about it i have been using the same brf all the time, i got the contam from sponsor spore prints and home made ones. so it's either my innoc method is unclean or somehow brf survives boiling.

sterilizing has worked before with no problems tho.

Maybe it's just a bad made syringe that causes it.
The syringe making procedure is the most sensitive point when it comes to contams.

However, your problem sounds like an bacterial infection.
Molds mostly don't smell that bad and they are alway visible, while bacteria sometimes stinks worse than barfed diarrhea and doesn't look like anything.

well, this is what happened: the spores germinated and i began to see small white spots of myc, then the bacteria won over and the jar smell like bad, bad wine.

does this mean my syringes were clean and it's a sterilization problem? i bought a new batch of brf, trying that instead of the old batch which stood in that jar for a year. running out of options fast :tongue:
