Excess water in hpoo blend

Hey guys.. so I got some composted and pasteurized hpoo that seemed a bit too wet to start with but upon squeezing it nothing much came out.. so decided to use it. Basically 2 quarts of spawn, 2 quarts of hpoo that I pasteurised again also, and 3 handfuls (what fits inside both of my big hands put together and squeezed out of water with all of my might to compensate for the perceived excess moisture of the poo). No verm because I didn't have at the time but Iโm gonna have soon so you might advise me maybe on how to use that to avoid this problem in the future. Essentially the two tubs have been colonizing great but I see quite a bit of brown poowater around the cake that I can see because my tub is transparent. Quite a worrying amount actually. Possible fixe I might think about right now: hold the cake with one hand while I tilt it to get the water out: i worry itll either break or contaminate because of my hand (even gloved) or the open air. I also dont know if it would be wise to case before. Anyway the tubs are 80-90percent colonized. Other idea would be to hope a very dry casing upon appying will absorb the water somehow (not realistic). Or just leave it like that, but standing water should be a mess.. one cake that gave me 4 flushes got mold in a corner and upon tossing it out realized that that corner was getting all the condensated water due to the flawed design of the lid; so the wetness fked it up eventually. Thanks guys!

Pretty sure those are metabolites, not poo water. Basically means its highly bacterial, more likely from the grains than the pasteurized hpoo, but I've only used coir.
