That also means there was probably a bunch of bacteria in there you couldn't see that had ate away at the brf

So here is 3 cakes- one just birthed, 1 for 1 tray and 1 between 2. My SGFC is currently over capacity- from 3 cakes.

If you look I left space between them to help keep the airflow going.

I didn't take pics of all the jars but 7 of them are contaminated only 3 survived. I steralised the jars all day today I never want to smell that stench again. Absolutely rancid. Oh lol it's not a coffee filter or cloth it's kombucha scoby

Out of curiosity, are your spore syringes from a vendor, or did you make them yourself? (If its a vendor, dont say their name, for courtesies sake). I ask because if you're still having contamination issues and you're absolutely sure its not your technique, then its possible that there is something nasty in the spore solution.
However unless you have a decent microscope, or access to agar and sterile manipulation space, its difficult to determine for certain.

If you are running into contamination problems just save yourself a world of hassle and wasted time/materials and get some agar. You have a pressure cooker so with another $10 investment you could know you have clean inoculant, not to mention you could store and reproduce cultures forever off of a single syringe.

That's because it's like trying to go camping without a tent. You can do it but when things get messy you'll wish you had some shelter.
Agar can be made by combining food gradr agar agar with nutrients and water. Alternatively you can just by Agar for use in laboratories (I do this out of cenvenience).
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=is_box_grocery/191-0242548-3683054?k=Pda+agar
Then follow pastywhyte's easy agar tek. Its really not too bad and in the end will save you endless headaches. It just requires putting in a little extra work now to avoid lots of extra work later.

Here's one I took today of my furthest along minibulk

That one on the bottom left hand corner is going to be massive, and there's about 6 pins you can't really see in the pic. This is from just a couple days of fruiting. I definitely recommend turning on cake into a minibulk- it's awesome.
