Green Contam
    #5475546 - 04/03/06 04:53 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

I just dumped my first attempt at growing. I inoculated 12 jars and they were all going along nicely, tomorrow would be 3 weeks since inoculation. I noticed at the end of last week a slight greenish blue color on the bottom of all the cakes. To make sure, I gave it a few more days and then decided to dump them. Up to this point, they had been colonizing nicely, and there were no other signs of contam. One thing I noticed and was concerned about was that there seemed to be a lot of water sitting in the jars, would this possibly be the reason why they all developed the contam on the bottom?

I used the PF tek method, half pint jars, verm, brf, etc. Although I have no experience with this, it really seems as if the water was the cause, because of how it developed in the same place on all the jars. What does everyone think? Thanks a lot.

it's usual for water to condense around the inside of a colonizing jar, so i doubt it was that at all. if every single jar got contaminated it might have been the way you sterilized them. either leave them in a steamer pot for an hour with foil on the jar tops, or pressure cook them at 30 psi.

If you were rough on those jars at all, they might have bruised instead of contaminating--just make sure it is mold before you toss it. The mold will grow really fast, so give the jars a day ot two to be sure it is mold--green will spread fast. If you steam-streilized the jars, you gave contams a better chance. LOL.

If there was sitting water thats your problem. A few drops are normal. Double check you mix and make sure no water is getting in while PC'ing.
