2 jars contaminated, will the rest follow?
    #15166185 - 10/02/11 10:17 AM (13 years, 3 months ago)

So, I started with 6, 1 pint jars, one went down in the sterilization process (tipped over in the pot when I wasn't looking). The second and third I had to get rid of today even though they were almost fully colonized because they had some kind of brown bug in them (gnats maybe) and part of the substrate that wasn't colonized had turned black. Does anyone know how this happened? Or if it will spread to my last 3 jars?

I don't think it will spread unless you opened the contam jars and the endospores from the contam got through you inoculation points and through your dry verm layer on your other jars. The only way I can think of bugs getting in there is if they climbed down through your inoculation holes after inoculating? Maybe get some micropore tape and cover them holes up?
