Don't you just hate it when a huge casing of pans, instead of colonizing nicely, starts smelling sour apples?
Is there any hope at all in saving a casing that started smelling sour? They made smaller casings out of the same substrate which are doing fine... straw chopped fine, poop screened, moisture content balanced...temps right too!

Its been my experience that subs smelliing like sour apples have fallen prone to bacterial infection... I've never been able to same em at that point, but maybe someone else can point you in the right direction? GL bro...

I have seen dude save trays and bags that have bacterial contam. Don't get the temp too high! Safer to stay at or just below 82. Introduce fresh air even if the bulk substrate is not fully colonised! Keep it separate from any good trays just in case.
just my opinion...

Damn, that's why they say the more you add the more risk you put into it
But you might as well consider it a lose, harboring bacteria in your grow room endangers future grows and current ones, as soon as you think there's something wrong w/ it u should immediatly isolate it from the rest...I say bury it in the back and chance it there...Gl

I agree. You have to decide wether or not it is worth the problems it may cause. But, it is possible...

If it really is a bacterial infection, you could try treating it with antibiotics. I think you can pick up gentamicin sulfate at pet stores, which you could presumbably apply in a liquid form to the casing. Might upset the water balance though. If you attempt it, you should post your results...could be interesting!
