I admit to wanting to play around with more traditional cube fruiting styles.  Throw on some bell bottoms and chucks and fruit on trays of cased straw and manure?

I do believe that no GE was the reason.  Looks like maybe a yeast.  Always a good idea to give any prepped substrate you’re storing for any period of time GE.  I store my unused CV in ziplocks with syringe holes poked through the bag every few inches even.

EDIT 1/10/14* Now, as for what follows, I used this technique for pasteurizing A LOT of substrate all at once, but I probably wouldn't use this method nowadays.  I am going to leave the operation up so that if you feel like playing around a bit with your procedures, you can see how I did it.  BUT, like I said, I wouldn't do it this way today.  The reason I wouldn't do it this way is because some of the material in the middle of the bags probably didn't get thoroughly pasteurized.  That is why I had to poke holes in the bags while they cooled so that fresh air was available to the material so the parts that didn't get thoroughly pasteurized wasn't given a chance to grow bacteria before I spawned to it.  I would still prepare the material like above^^^^, but I would pasteurize in smaller amounts with less times to make sure all the material was pasteurized properly.
