Is this okay?
    #27070081 - 12/03/20 01:30 PM (3 years, 1 month ago)

Okay, so it's been taking awhile for my friend's jars to fully colonize (over six weeks). Temps are around 68-74F. He thinks he didn't fully hydrate the grain (red milo) so that might be why. When he sakes the jars, it takes them quite some time to recover (not the two days or so everyone is quoting). Any help would be appreciated. :smile:

Has he shaken them at all?
Improper Gas Exchange, Lack of proper water content, and bacteria are common causes for stalled or slowed growth.

Yes, he's shaken them. The caps are unmodified, but left loose to allow FAE. Thank you for confirming about the low moisture count causing slow colonization.

Do you think we could get a better look at the uncolonized portion of the jar?
I have a hunch there might be bacteria in there. But it could be a combination between the unmodified lid and lack of hydration.

Sure, I'll post another picture later. For the most part though, it's about 90%ish colonized with the uncolonized portions looking like plain grain.

Looks alright to my untrained eye. Improper grain prep could he the culprit, I'm having simaler problems. I'd say wait it out, I shook mine at 90-95% and they bounced back in 3 days at 4 days looked good one more day and I think it will be 100%
