hi, yes, normal.  it'll be absorbed into the grain in a few days.  then in a few more days when you see mycelium growth, you may see more condensation from the heat it generates.

just out of curiosity, what kind of lids/filters are you using?

Yes, it's normal.  Give it a few shakes and it'll be re-absorbed into the grains.

A casing needs to be a non nutritious substance. Grains are good for use as a spawn, but having a 2 day soak is a pretty long time, but it'd probably still be fine.

After 2 days that shit is going to be germinating and the starches converting. Not to mention the bacillus count will be through the roof. Grains should only be soaked for 18 hours max but up to 24 can work. I usually only soak for 12 hours, if I bother to soak them at all.

Can you not soak grains, and just simmer them? I thought it was necessary, or at least optimal... :confused:

Sure you can.  I never soak grains. I just simmer them.  Soaking is such a pain in the ass.

Sure you can but not for too long. But I usually do no soak prep unless I am doing rye or wheat. WBS and millet prep better for me with Foomans method which only takes an hour of soaking. Oats I usually just light boil until hydrated.

Soak preps are pretty easy to follow but not the only way to do things. But you never want to soak too long. Doing so starts the germination process for both the grains and the bacterial endospores in them. Soak for too long and you have massive amounts of bacteria reproducing and starches being converted into sugar. Plus it will stink like hell.
