Need help identifying possible contamination

hey folks,
i recently started my first growing project after reading _a lot_ of threads here on shroomery.
8 days ago i inoculated my 12 jars with 2 spore syringes. Many of the jars now show some kind of fluid on the wall of the jars where the mycelium has grown. The fluid is very clear and appears on many but not all of the jars.
From what i gathered on information until now, i would say it is an bacterial contamination that will have an negative effect on yield but does not mean i have to throw the jars out.
Because of my lack of experience i would like to ask you, wise mycologists, if my information is correct and what you may add to it. I attached 2 images from a jar with the biggest occurrence of fluid.
Thx in advance!

They're fine.
Use far less spore solution next time though.
Skip PF tek and learn to do WBS. Buy a el cheapo pressure cooker.
Doing WBS my first time was leaps and bounds easier than PF tek.
-------------------- KSSS And PE WBS.

Thank you very much. I guess i got a little bit over-exited here. Its just so much information and so many things to be considered.
I read that WBS is the superior tek but at that time i already ordered most of the stuff for PF. I will just use up my resources and then switch to WBS. Also a pressure cooker is already in my possession and the jars have been pressure cooked.

Just so you know what that wet spot is. That is only water that has condensated by the mycelium.
Like moabfighter said. You're fine.

They look nice! Kind of like what mine did.
However if anybody else wants to look at the second photo near the verm top layer. I see a minor black spot. Looks possible contam, but than again I could be wrong.
Other than that the water is just buildup, kind of normal from my experience.
Shouldn't this thread be moved to the contam forum though?
