Pf jar water ratio after pc

I recently pressure cooked some jars and I was wondering how do you know if water gets in?, because in the jar it looks like some of the brf has absorbed some water or something, some of it looks enlarged, I took the top off of one of the jars the top Verm layer was still dry so I'm just wondering if any of y'all have experienced this before, I'm tryin to get the moisture right. Any help would be great.

My water always radiates out towards the sides, unless I make a perfect ass seal
-------------------- Oh wow, GOOD Nyborg!

So do you think it's just water in my brf/verm mix condensing on the sides of the jar, or water from the steam of the pc?, I'm just wonder if I should try to inoculate these jars or try again cuz I heard if it's too wet inside the jar the spores won't start.

If it looks like straight mush then it's far too wet. Whether steam got in is for you to tell, how well did you seal your jars? You don't need to make an actual perfect seal because they can explode lol, but a tight one with alu foil works well. If I know my seal was good enough I'll let it sit for a day so the dry sub in the middle can hydrate from the water in the sub around it
-------------------- Oh wow, GOOD Nyborg!

Did you cover them snugly with foil?

I covered the inoculation holes with micropore tape and put two layers of foil over the top snuggly, I also tightened the lid pretty good. Hearin what y'all had to say makes me feel better about it, it's deffinatly not sloppy in there. Just wanted to make sure cuz I shot up some jars like 6 days ago and nothing has happened , so I guess I'll see what round two does, but thanks for the input

Two layers of foil? What's the point of that?
