You are correct the jars with the yellowing is dealing with some bacteria contamination. It's possible you will get a flush from them, but soak and fruit em separately as to avoid transferring it to the healthy cakes.

You can top fruit them with some Coir and place them in a shoebox with a little water in the bottom, or in a Water tub. Just make sure there's only 6-8 in from the cakes surface so the humidity is concentrated where it should be. Otherwise if it's too tall the humidity will concentrate in the top which creates less than ideal conditions for fruiting.

You could also crumble the to bulk as Shoe boxes if you'd like.

Personally I prefer soaking, rolling, and fruiting cakes as is in shoeboxes on plastic jar lids or water tubs. But it's totally personal preference.

You are better off keeping the contaminated cakes as cakes and not taking them to bulk as the break up will force the mycelium to recover and make it more difficult for them to fruit considering they are slightly compromised.

thanks for the reply!

Sorry  I got really busy overnight.

I'm reviewing this now and I like your approach. I think keeping them as cakes this run will be the way to go. I think 2 of these jars might need to be soaked and fruited separately, from the contams I see. Small area on both.

With the pinning on the pint size jars (first batch), should I remove the grain jar lids or leave another week until its fully colonized and ready for soaking and water tub?

I had soaked two cakes of mine that looked great, but in the soak water, it definitely turned yellow, indicating metabolites.

Any insights? Is that just a major sign of a bacterial cake?

Did you use coir in the recipe of the cake?

Yes, pure coir/flour cakes. Does that have a coloring aspect to it?

I always get yellowish soak water with coir-rolled cakes. I think the coir leaches/stains the water a bit.
