What Should My Jars Smell Like? (pf tek)
    #14475637 - 05/18/11 09:29 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I've had a bunch of jars inoculated with GT six days ago, with still no sign of colonization... I've noticed that the jars have a distinct smell to them, all the same... a bit musty, not really a "bad" smell, but it deffinately HAS a smell... Could just be what BRF smells like? It seems to have gotten stronger over the past few days... Should I be able to smell anything at all?  Just curious.

You shouldn't be able to smell anything if the jars are sealed. And even if you could it should smell like nice and fresh mushrooms. Not musty at all. Id watch those jars buddy.

I can smell it through the holes in the top of the jar... I smelled a similar scent on a couple new jars I started today, as I  as I took them out of the PC, but the older ones smell more strongly.

I don't know man. I don't think their supposed to have any bad smell to them at all. Mine never have. Id wait for a older hand to chime in but watch them until then.

Sacrificed one of my cakes today, it's a very stale unpleasent smell... I guess I'm asking if the moisture in the jar and the brf just smells stale like that after so many days without any colonization? or should it just smell like my bag of brown rice?

If its not colonized then yea maybe it will have a funny smell do to the pressure cooking. For some reason I was thinking you meant a colonized jar.

straight out of the pressure cooker, they should smell like a hot bowl of cereal. When colonized, they should smell about like a button mushroom, with a wierd"twang" almost reminiscent of a cow pasture

I think cakes smell weird.
But they start out that way and smell the same all the time.
If yours change their smell, that's a bad sign.

Or you are overthinking.

You make it all possible. Doesn't it feel good?
