This is a jar from my first attempt with wbs. Obviously way too much water. I have a feeling that nothing is going to happen with this one. If I take a whiff placing my nose above the tyvek I can smell dirty sock. Is it fermenting?

sorry if the picture is unclear...i am new to digital cameras and its software.

i had that same problem too much wata this worked for me soak the seeds for 36-48 hours then simmer for 30 min then let it drain for like an hour or until u see no moisture at the bottom of ur jars when u load them dont be afraid of making it too dry just make sure its not too wet the grains already absorbed ebough moisture but im a noob and could be wrong so completely disregard the above statement and do not do anything

I don't think of dirty feet as a fermentation smell. Whatever it is, it's bad and you should get rid of it.

I will throw 6 jars out. Each one has a similar rancid smell that I cannot describe. These also happen to be the ones that are overly saturated with H20. Check these out...in the garbage bye bye!

The water lining the inside of the jars is milky white and slimy looking.

Did you add sock water? Sock water makes jars smell like dirty feet!

yeah...i agree there was too much water in them. But something must have made those jars stink like they did. Maybe a flesh-eating bacteria? Hmmm... Well, my left hand hasn't been the same since I washed the jars out 20 minutes ago....take a look.

Ohhh Noooooo. Thats not good! Its a flesh eating bacteria!

I've had that same thing. I think it happens when you leave your birdseed wet for too long before pcing it. That's when I think it happens to me. It sucks, it wastes a whole batch. All that extra liquid in the jars is caused by the problem. If you let them sit for a month or so there will be more liquid than solid and it will reek.
