Bottom of my colonizing cake crispy dry
    #5494152 - 04/08/06 06:44 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

I have 4 jars inoculating on top of a heating pad because the temp in my room is to cold. I have my jars sitting on 4 layers of clothing which are on top of the heating pad since the heating pad itself will raise the temp way higher then wanted. I have a bucket over top the 4 jars that are sitting on the heating pad/clothes to keep the warm temp. inside the area with the jars.

One of my jars got contamed, so I took it out and opened the jar to throw the cake away, and once it was outside the jar, I noticed the bottom of the cake was extremely dry and hard, but the rest of the cake was moist

Is this a problem I could consider with my other 3 jars since I know the other 3 jars will have a dry crisp bottom as well

And if it is a problem, how can I fix it?

Thanks

Are you measuring the temperature in your bucket? heating pads get pretty hot dont they? I incubate in a cooler with an UTH and use a thermostat to control the heat.

Yeah I got a good thermometer inside of the bucket with the 3 jars. The temp stays around 25.5-26.5 degrees celcius
I know this is a good temp for colonization, but why is the bottom of my cakes so dry?

maybe the air is the right temp but the clothes you have the jars sitting on is hotter?
