Wet contamination in rye bags?
    #19125322 - 11/12/13 08:05 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

I have possible contamination on some of my bags. Done tons of research but have found nothing comparable. Anyone seen anything like this? It seems wet. All my bags have serious condensation on them, i thought maybe it was cause of slight temperature change at night, so i better insulated the room but still having heavy condensation. It almost looks like a contam, it has been killing my myc at about +60% colonization. Turn green after they turn grey after they have been white?









Photo's def aren't the best, but i would truly appreciate any help. THanks!

Difficult to tell from the pics, obv.

If your bags show moisture right away, then you're likely putting the grain in while it is still too wet. RR's videos on grain prep show perfect tek for getting the water content right. I also find it helps to let them cool completely before putting them in the bag, and letting the bags cool in the PC overnight (slowing the rate of cooling helps to prevent condensation).  If the water showed up later, then you've probably got bacterial contamination turning grains into ooze.

I've never had a bag get to 60 % and then "die". Its more likely that they're stalling out due to temperature (too high or two low), because there is no gas exchange in your bags (filter patches or polyfill tie-offs provide plenty), or because the bags are way too wet (the mycelium will not colonize waterlogged grain).

As for color: Mycelium is always white, with maybe some yellowish coloration. If you are seeing mycelium turn from white >> grey >> green, then you are growing mold, not mushrooms.
