this is what happened when I over PCed.

that was a 60 minute PC and thats what it looked like right out of the PC
edit: meant as a comparison to what an over PCed honey-water lc looks like.
there is a fetus in my honey water!

Here is a quick tek.
Add 4% honey by weight to water (honey weight = water weight * 0.04). put that honey water in a PC-able jar and PC the jar at 15psi for 20 minutes. wait until the water/jar is cool to the touch and innoc under sterile conditions.
tips: 1-don't let the water touch the jar if possible. 2-let the water come to a boil before placing the jars in the PC and closing the lid/pressurizing 3-don't let the steam out after the 20 minutes. turn the heat off and move PC to a cold burner. Let the PC cool down on its own.

would an extra 10 mins make any difference? As long as it's clear, it's ok, right?

over pressure cooking can cause the sugers in the honey to caromilise. Its not much of a problem execpt it looks like its contamed and is hard to see myc. I think sometimes it can stall growth
My first test lc was like that after cooking using the boil method, 30 minute boil of jar, then ad honey and another 30 minutes, dont think its that great of a tekm but my lc did work out.
