if you followed the tek exactly you should not have an issue. they do look a little starchy but this is a common comment ive read. once its cool you will see.
to me it sounds like the seed is dirty. you can always try to float some extra gunk off the grain when your pouring it out. ill even fill the pot with water after i dump off the floaters. then do it again if there is still some stuff mixed in. its hit or miss with the cheap seed sometimes. it should still work. i recently have been doing about 40 quart batches of inoculation at a time. so ill pc 10 jars at a time a night. so by the end of the week, some of the jars have been sitting a few days. there are not contams. don't panic. you will see that once it cools down after your shake, things will be fine.

I usually just do a 18 hr hot water soak, but I just boiled for the first time after my last soak... it makes the drying the grains soooo much quicker and easier. Ill never skip a boil again.

try picking a different seed next time. red and white millet and some sunflower seeds is what you want. here is is a picture of what my grain looks like.
ive even had jars that had golfball size clumps of grain and i still had it colonize and fruit. be patient wait it out. a little starch on the glass is ok it will go away. read that link from spitball jedi.

be patient, read the link from sbj. a little starch is fine. it will go away.
here is a close up of what my grain looks like after. this example has liquid stem clone tissue injected into it.
also, ive even had clumps the size of golf balls colonize and fruit just fine. i normally don't ever pressure cook grain quarts more than an hour. you may have some burst grain. this is normal.
i can't see any pictures.

i see now. those look fine. let it cool a few hours and look at it again. you will see that they dry up quite a bit. if you find that your having a bunch of burst grains. let it strain for 30 minutes longer before you pressure cook next time. that should bring the burst grains to a minimum. and if your worried, simply let the jars sit for a couple of days and make sure that you don't see any contams. i don't think you will.
also, try filling the jars up a little more about 1/3 more.

so i had to get a new strainer and i got the wrong one. for me a key factor in straining wbs is the metal mesh strainers like this.
the new ones i bought seem to hold the water in and take twice as long. make sure you get the mesh and not the metal holes below.

We are strainer twins!! (the good one)
You also know that, sometimes the perfect size birdseed gets into those holes and is a bitch to get out.
