Possible bacterial contam, wondering if I can still have fun with these (Pics)

I have been having a few contam issues lately and on my last tub while smelling the jars I took a few out for smelling a tad off. My thought is bacterial contam, because there's no visible signs of discoloration, but a few uncolonised grains despite 3 weeks of colonization.
It still seems like a waste to throw these out so I'm wondering what isolated fun I could still have with them. My ideas are:
1- case with a layer of verm (wet or dry?) and just see if they will fruit right out of the jars
2- make a mini mono with a 1:1 spawn ratio and see what happens
3- Somehow kill the bacteria? It seems to stick to the outside. Maybe a squirt of alcohol around the edges?
Here are two pics of each jar. You can see the uncolonised grains and a bit of discoloration.

You can spawn bacteria jars just fine.
I'd case though. Make sure you case it with CVG up until the lip of the jar to prevent pinning in a place that's hard to reach. My avatar was a bacterial cased grain.

You can what? I had never considered that. I guess the casing layer doubles as a barrier so that the bacteria doesn't spread outside the jar. I'll try salvaging my spawn like this

I spawned three bacterial APE jars and I'm watching them fruit now.

When you say spawn do you mean in a tray or tub, or do you mean fruit right out of the jar? Edit: Also what's APE?
