Smells Like Cheese!?!?!? Contamination??
    #5898126 - 07/25/06 12:52 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

Hi Guys and Girls,
To start off... Thanks for the excellent wealth of information on this forum, it's been a real help.

Anyway, one of my slow colonizing jars have a Mozzerella cheese smell comming from the micropore tape on the holes. It obviously has to be contamination. However, I see no visible signs of contam anywhere! I removed it from my incubator today to keep it from spreading to my healthy jars just in case. Has anyone here dealt with this

have your jars started colonizing? its hard to describe the smell they put off in the incubator, but i wouldnt compare it to cheese at all...

probably bacterial...you'll probably know for sure in a few days

Yes, Most of my jars are 100% colonized. There are three that are about 30% colonized and one of those has the cheese smell. It's actually not a bad smell. In my opinion, it smells like fresh mozzerella. I know what bacteria and mold usually smells like and this is not like that. It's also not a mushroom smell either.

It's a contam. Toss it. Any non-normal smell is almost certainly a contam. Since it's also colonizing slowly you can be sure it's a contam.

if your out side hold your breath when you dump it an place jar in a bucket with some bleach water.


if your expecting fruits from your outside hole chances are it wont happen but some people have had success cross your fingers hope for mush?

> if your out side hold your breath when you dump it

It's best to always hold your breath when outside. Only breathe again when you're back inside the safety of your bubble.

You might want to get those the fuck away from your other jars... Once one of them has it they'll all get it real fast. I don't understand how you got that with a good verm. layer, maybe you didn't sterilize your syringe enough?? :mrt:


--------------------
I don't think for myself. I think as though I'm explaining my thoughts to someone else. I'm concerned only for those listening.

Yeah, I know what I did wrong now. I tried to experiment with other jars than mason due to thier shape and surface area. My procedures were very steril but i think the dry verm layer got saturated in these pyrex jars and contaminated them. I threw away all three pyrex jars. I think I'll stick to 1/2 pint mason jars for now. They colonize fast and keep the contam out.

If it ain't broke, dont fix it!
