WTF?!? These Cakes smell like Garbage!!!
    #5336015 - 02/24/06 08:42 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

well, it's definitley not every day that i have a question about cakes. but all i have to say right now is... WHAT THE FUCK???

i have some Ecuador cakes.
they had trouble colonizing, which i'm not used to.
there were dark parts of the cake that didn't want to colonize.
i chalked it up to the fact that these jars had gotten a little too hot during PC'ing (a large load) on the bottom rack.

i was keeping the jars in my Martha (running) so they could soak up some extra moisture due to the dry substrate (mild burning). nothing new...

the other day i birthed the cakes so i could dunk them.
i've never used the dunk tek before since i always just grew cakes in perlite tubs and would set the dry cakes right on the saturated perlite for re-hydration.

i birthed, rinsed, and dunked them in ziploc bags with a mixture of distilled water and tap water (i used my 3-stage PUR tap filter).
i let them soak in the fridge for approx. 24 hours.
the water turned brown and dirty.
--enter the WTF?!?

i took them out of the bags, rinsed them again, misted them with a light solution of 3% H2O2 and distilled water, then put them on clean dinner plates to go into the Martha. since they've been in there w/ the cool mist on 24/7 and the ultra running double/triple time...

there are no visible contams, just dark (sorta burnt) parts of the cake.

they smell like a 3 day old bag of trash.

what the fuck is this???

i can elaborate more if you guys need me to.

i have never smelled this from cakes.
as far as i can tell (visually) they aren't contamed.
could it be that they're just rotten?
there is NO blue-ing...

i've got nothin here... help please.

i have experienced quite a bit of contamination lately. nothing brownish...

I've had nasty smells eminate from over-PC'd casing. It wasn't contaminated, it just smelled really bad due to being burned/caramelized. I know casing is not the same as cakes, and peat always smells a little funny, but this could still be some of the problem.


But it's hard telling without photos. Could be bact*ria.

like i said...
no visible contams
just a yucky smell (i've never smelt before)

i would take a pic, but for some reason i can't get pics sized to fit on the forum posts OR in my Pic Files....

the Myc looks healthy, but there are dark brown parts of the cakes
it just looks burnt, not contammed.

i'm just gonna fruit them straight
i dont wanna waste poo on shitty cakes when i have a shitload of healthy cakes ready for spawning.

this just baffles me, since its not something i've dealt w/ before
and i've encountered about every brand of contam over the last several years.

agar's signature has infinate place in this thread lol

As for the color and smell, sounds like wetspot to me. Wetspot smells like my outdoor garbage cans, and opening one means clearing out the garage for an hour

How can you keep that many contaminated jars around? The smell would become so foul! I had one with some yeast contam (one jar, one!) and it was sealed with 2 layers of tyvek and polyfil. That thing stunk up the room so bad eventually.
