Yes, the foil is in contact with water. I will fix this the next time I prepare jars. I'll raise the trivet and decrease the amount of water.

It's going to be very difficult to find a Presto cooker in this part of Europe, sadly.

I'll also increase the PC cycle to 2 and a half hours next time, see how that goes.

I'll keep you posted the next time I prepare jars, I reckon it will be around week or so.




Have you tried eBay? I am from Europe as well and I got it shipped from America. Unless you live in Ukraine or something...

  So the issue could very well be that grains are too wet. I only have PP5 containers, and in the past I did not unscrew them slightly before the cycle. Moreover, I can not keep them vertical inside the PC, I have to topple them to a semi-horizontal position.
Thanks again




Bam, there is your problem. This is what is causing the wet grains.

How the mold gets into your jars is either sterile technique or contamination in the plates which look clean to me.

What these two new Cultivators are arguing about is what doctrine reigns supreme. Honestly none of that nonsense means anything, it's just a dick measuring moment for two people who obviously read alot but lack experience.

I would say that RR is probably more likely correct, but footpath has a point that if you have proper Sterilization you shouldn't have mold in your spawn.

Take it back to basics and rework every step. Find away to PC your jars upright, plastic or not gravity will put moisture in your jars if they are not vertical.

I may have a development. I made a small transfer of the original plate with which I inoculated the initial, contaminated jars (thai variety)

From the start, that plate showed a weird growth that I associate with anything but myc. But now, it starts to show a green color that matches exactly the contam in the jars. Pics:


initial


transfer

So it may be fair to conclude that the contam vector was actually the plate, and not the PC times or my sterile technique. Which is good I guess!

I still need to fix the issue with watery jars however : )

There you have it.

Yeah, just keep that foil from siphoning up the water into your jars and you should be good.
