Rate my spawn

Ive been getting contamination recently. Can you rate my spawn from best to worse? I've numbered them 1-9. If there are any that need to be tossed please say so. I am trying to pick the best 2 or 3 for g2g transfers.
Thanks in advance! J+

I think 2, 3, and 7 maybe are the best ones. 5 and 1 would be the worst in my opinion, but they still look good.

You would need closer pics of each one. Looking on my screen 9 looks good

Based on the amount of colonization in all the jars you have bacterial contamination in everyone is my guess.
Like smart said though it's hard to see from the picture. Close up picture of each jar would be better.
Oh and you can still fruit bacterial jars, so don't go tossing them cause of my comment.
I would not grain to grain any of those. It looks like you might have overly wet grains that is leading to bacterial contamination.

I believe the camera flash off the glass jars make them look wetter than they actually are. When you say too we, should I soak less or dry more at the end? The two called for 6-12 hours and. Am letting them soak for 6. Also the oitside of the grain is very dry before pc. I steam off and then i let them sit in the fridge for another 24-48 hours. So, soak less time or dry longer?
The picture quality is really good. I can zoom in on a single grain and its still clear. But here are some close ups.

Yeah looks like bacteria.
I wouldn't worry about it to much. The wet uncolonized grains are a sign you have some yeast or bacteria and the Mycelium is trying to get a foot hold on the grains.
They will probably colonize and you can get a flush out of them.
What is your grain prep like? You said you soak.
Example: I rinse my oats, then bring a big pot to a full boil. When the water is rolling I dump in the oats and close the lid for about 10 minuets. Then I kill the heat and strain and lay on a table to dry for about an hour. I will spread the grains out on a towel or newspaper so they can steam dry. Then I load them up and PC for 90-120 minuets. And I end up with this.

Wow that's wayyy less than the teks I have used. I used bods eaf oats, boil for 30 or 45 minutes then drain. Now I have been using this tek https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/21029762#21029762 it's basically what you said but instead of 10 minutes it's 6-12 HOURS.

The difference is in if you bring your water to a boil with the grains in or if you boil your water and add the grains.
Both methods work great.
