Bacterial spawn. Cure?

I can’t believe this happen and I have idea what may have caused it but not too sure. I knock up 19 bags using grain slurries and LI. I prep the bags using BODs easy AF oat tek, e e achy bag with about 4.5qt of spawn. After shaking these bags I have had 13 fall victim to bacteria and trich. The trich I can explain, I mishandled the jar a couple of times in the SAB over the bag and one I believe my hand slip into it. This issue is going be addressed by building a flow hood. The bacteria I cannot explain, is it due to wet grain? Here some photos of the bad bags.

Every time I've got bacteria it has been from grains being too wet. Sorry about your lost bags, don't give up my friend.

Either dirty spawn, bad inoculation Tek, or you didn't PC for long enough, also the micron size of the filter could be at play

.5. I figure it was the grain prep or pc cycle from previous reading. I didn’t have pc with gauge so I bought one of those and switch to millet. In the process of making 30 bags so hopefully I get this figured out sooner than later.

.5s can be doable but go with .2s if you want to be sure the contams aren't coming from the outside, it'll help you nail down your source

Excellent. I heard unicorn bags are top of the line, although you have purchase in 1000 lots. I believe I found my source, I have been inculcating with LI and I did 5 jars, there was little gain so I know I dried effectively and use new pc. I check today after 8 days nothing had grow, I open them up and was horribly bacterial. I’m going stay away from LI and stick with grain slurries although I’m looking into moving to LC. I’ll have remember prep grains super dry. Anyone have drying techniques they’d like share. Currently I lay them out on a table cover in towels under a fan.
