Looks good thats how colonized wbs looks, you want to look for bigger black,, green, red that takes up more than an individual grain
your ganna get some good shrooms for those!!

the jars look fine to me thats how all of mine look, the sour smell worries me, can you smell it through the jar or do you have to open it? Grain can smell a little funky not enough to smell through jar.
Also just a tip, it looks a little too wet inside there, next time drain the grain a little longer after simmering.
And if you decide to throw those out make an outdoor bed with them, spring and then summer is right around the corner!!!

I wouldn't say they were fine, but I'd wait for experienced opinions before worrying. Is it an ammonia smell? You could have a lot of bacteria creating ammonia, without it looking like a contam.

In your favour, you did PC and use tyvek. The only contam I've gotten, using that method, was when I left the foil tight on the top of the jar. I did this with 12 jars, upon removing the foil, I saw water pooled up on the tyvek. Eleven were fine. If this does turn out to be a contam, PC for 1.5 hours from now on, that's what I do.

As was already said they do look wet. After simmering, I submerge them in cold water several times until they've cooled down. Then I can leave them to drain as long as I want.

Upon further staring at the pics the tops of jars do look a little funky, and if it stinks its contamed, when in doubt throw em out, or make an outdoor bed the contams will die outside but mycelium will live.
also you need to simmer the grain not "steep for 2 hrs" follow this tek next time to a T, no shrotcuts, and when your straining and water isnt dripping, shake the rest of the water out

i have mixed opinions on simmering... when i simmer... all my grains tend to bust. then i got a whole other world of issues.

i have 24 qt. jars that look like this. have them in a tit, and just noticed the smell today.

smells like a fermenting grain... alcahol smell. ya' know

the bad smell. hmmmm.......
