and I'm scared to do anything with it... it's something brown I don't have pics but that doesn't matter.
I don't know if it will come out of the jar easily. I have read some scary stuff about contams. Should I ditch the jar? Or save it?
If I should save it what's the best way to get rid of it and bring in a clean jar?

Pictures DO matter. That's what we need to ID contams...
If it is contamed, PC for 60 minutes then toss outside. I've also heard of people making a bleach + water mixture bucket & opening it in the bucket while fully submerged...PCing is the for sure sterile way to go, though.
How is not going to come outta the jar easily? You're using wide mouth jars right? PF tek?

The jar in question didn't colonize fully and now has a very dark brown spot in the corner. I think the jar became over saturated because of the water in the pc being to high and my using aluminum twice instead of lids.
I'm using the pf for simple minds with wide mouth jars etc. etc. It will probably come out of the jar fine. I will do a little more searching on procedure. But I like the idea of pc'ing it.
thanks tod

PC then toss if it's stalled...It's probably bacteria/yeast...
