BRF Cakes too wet?

I forgot to put foil on when I put in the pressure cooker. The brown rice kinda made a little goo at the bottom of the jar and there is no mycelium after about 2 weeks. do you think the cakes got too wet in the pressure cooker?

Seems very likely. Pictures would help.
The goo could be a contaminant as well.

Weel I tried to take some pics but they came out horrible. Best way to describe it is it looks like a solid mass of cooked rice about 1`/4' of the bottom of the jar and larger pieces of cooked rice all over the cake.
In thinking about contamination, I think i'm going to move those jars away from the other batch. I have already contaminated one closet in my house and was unable to successfully conolize jars without contamination in there, I dont want to do it there too.

Wet substrate will mean slow growth, but you might still win the day. The longer they take to colonize, the longer contams have a chance of taking over.
Do not move them around too much.
Good Luck,

Toss it and start over, I promise you they are too wet. Next time, take it slow. This is a hobby of Buddhist patience.

this ^
also, hate to ask the obvious, but you do know what the "F" stands for in BRF, right?

i hope there's not literally full pieces of rice in your jar.

No it's like they grouped back together. I almost burned up the motor on my coffee grinder making the flour. Just going to toss them tonight. Probably put them outside under a bush and see what happens.

I understand...even my (wife's ;0) monstrous Cuisinart heated up when I made flour.
DO not worry if the result is a bit chunky...not big chunks...but it works well. I have 12 absolutely perfect looking Texan cakes that I inoculated on 7/30. These are the fastest cakes that I have made yet (the first made 100% yesterday) and were made with a combination of home ground brown rice and hulled millet.
Good luck!
JD
P.S. Hold on....my previous batches (GT, Roatan, and PE6) were all multispore injections where the Texan was some very strong LDM+Dex LC. So, no great surprise at the record. ;0)
