Pretty sure this is a contam but...

This is my first grow and though I am fairly sure this is a contam I would like to get a second opinion before I start throwing jars out.
This is 5 days after inoculation. They have been incubating at 79-84 F almost the whole time.

Ive never grown before so I dont really have the experience to doubt in the first place. I would rather isolate the ones that are questionable than just throw them out on speculation.

There is definitely no bluish green, and I thought it looked orangish-yellow if anything. It seems to mostly be contained within the mycellium that has already grown almost like it's coming from the inside out.
Not sure if you noticed but the pics are thumbnails.

You should be good,the orange-yellow liquid is usually water just building up inside the jars.To much of this can be a bad thing,you should be good though.If you notice any green,red,or black get rid of it.

I won't open offsite images, so if you want to post your pictures here, I'll have a look. I can't tell anything from the thumbnail. RR

The jars may have been at as high as 86-88F for as long as 4 hours once during their incubation (recently). Strain is B+.
Can take some more pictures if those are too blurry. It's hard to tell the quality on the camera's viewfinder.
