Metabolites?
    #14742950 - 07/09/11 09:56 PM (13 years, 6 months ago)

I've been reading a lot about metabolites and I seem to be getting an unclear idea of how bad this is for the health of my PF jars.

I think that the water content in a few of my jars was too high, or else there was just too much wet BRF in the mix towards the bottom of the bowl.

Anyhow, I'm attaching pics do you can get a look at what I'm facing. I haven't opened any jars, but I don't smell anything outside the jars for what it's worth.

Am I looking at metabolites?
Does the presence of metabolites always mean that the mycelium is fighting off bacteria? Or could it just be that the room they're incubating in is getting hot in the daytime. (it's possible since it's on an outside wall.)
Do all jars with signs of metabolites need to be thrown out?
I've already quarantined the jars in pics #1 through #3. Mainly because one looked wet and the growth had stalled almost to a halt on the other jar.
Should I worry about the jars that are almost complete, but seem to have a tiny spot of yellow moisture?

Could I prevent this next time by pressure cooking longer, or should I work on the sterility of my inoculation? Could it just be that I just mixed my cakes improperly?

I hope these aren't stupid questions, it's been 8 years since my last grow and I've been reading a lot.
I UTFSE'd all day about this subject and I'm still confused.

These jars were inoculated with Ecuador on 6-29-11
