hard myc.
    #24865563 - 12/24/17 09:18 AM (7 years, 24 days ago)

Hey guys,
A quick question. I'm dunking my PF TEK jars, nothing funky about the smell but the myc on the top and a bit on the sides is hard to the touch, almost feels as if im touching a glass surface. And also noticed some grey-ish looking small metabolites.
Bacterial contam maybe? Then again, it doesnt smell. So im a bit confused.
I would really like to save the cakes, but maybe it's not worth it. What do u think?

here,
visually, i think, there's not much being suspicious. The smell's still ok.
The surface as it's been sitting in the water got normal too.

It was probably just dry. I've had cakes come out hard as a rock but after a day of dunking, they're nice n soft.

yeah maybe, but the myc had this weird surface on the bottom of the cake and around it which is odd because all the moisture would normally collect there, so probably wasnt dry. Smth doesnt feel right about these 2 cakes but maybe its me being paranoid. U know when theres bacteria the cake becomes all slimy and stuff? in my case it felt like the slime was glass. And the grey metabolites. By the way, i just checked them and they got lighter, the grey stuff just dissolved.
