Is it normal for the pc water to smell like bacterial vomit when you're done pressure cooking rye jars? I've never encountered anything like this with PF or casing jars, but this morning when I opened up the pc, the water was clearly filthy and it smelt terrible.

The jars were standing upright. They were covered with foil very tightly but the lids were left a little bit loose.
Also, I let them cool in there overnight because it was late, I was tired, and I figured it would keep them in a sterile environment.

I've never used rye, only wbs, but I know the air stinks after I pc some wbs. Never really smelled the water but I doubt it smells good.

Was the rye for animal or human consumption? Rinsed? Dunno...

I did some jars myself yesterday, rye at that. I PC'd all day and my WHOLE house pretty much smelled horrid, to the point of at night when I went out all I could smell was that smell. The water I pulled the last batch out of today: rank. I think if you loosen lids, or have a good gas exchange, some of the contents of the jars leaks out into the PC, and then condensates into the water, or causes the air to smell. Then it leaves a small dirty layer on the jars outside. I think this is good to have though, means the PC is heating up the rye properly.

Funny actually, I commented to my girlfriend last night about the same smell after cooking all day, and a friend asked "What did ya'll eat?".

You should tighten the lids all the way when sterilizing rye jars. As the jars cool, they will draw in air, so make sure that air passes through the filter, not under the lid. A bit of smell is normal, but it shouldn't stink like vomit.

I was exaggerating when I said vomit. It just smells pretty nasty.

Hmm, tighten the lids, you say? Alright, I'll remember that next time. I had just seen a few posts that said "make sure you loosen the lids" and anything along those lines so I figured I ought to loosen them just a bit. I trust your word over pretty much anyone else's though.

It has an odor and I wouldn't really say its a pleasant one but I have never had it smell too awful or overpowering
