Contam type?
    #12942255 - 07/23/10 05:39 PM (14 years, 5 months ago)

Hey guys, got some I think contam'd jars here. Just curious what kind of contam it was.

The story is..

I got a Lipa Yai print but the foil came empty, except maybe a couple specs. I thought the specs might be spores, so made some syringes, and inoculated 5 1qt jars of WBS.

They sat for a week and a half without any kind of growth, contam or otherwise.

So I figured they were bunk but I have other syringes I know are viable. So I took a guatamalan stain syringe, and injected em into the 5 jars. I flamed the needles red hot, the doused them in pure alcohol soaked paper towel.

They are coming along, but 2 jars I notice have this:



and the other:



Gotta be contams. Anyone know what kind?

Definitley contams.  Black slimy kind.  Chuck em, restock and think no more of it.

You soak your grains over night?  If not, do.  It flushes out tricksy-type contams in the grain.

Sorry forgot I posted this. Yeah soaked for 24 hours. No simmering though, a lot of the big wigs seem to think its a waste of time, and I havent really had any problems with colonization.

I've actually decided to switch to myco bags. Easier to PC larger amounts, easier to inoculate safely, easier to 'shake' (knead), etc.
