 Smell in My Casings

I over watered my tubs, so I poked a hole in the corners of them to drain everything, and the water coming out has a pretty funky smell to it. It is not quite sour like with cobweb mold. It just smells kind of like sulfur. My tubs are 100% hpoo. I am hopeful that poo water will have a foul smell to it, and that my casings aren't ruined. The colonization looks good and I cant' see anything funky yet. So I am wondering if anyone can give me any hope.

I'm not well versed enough in contamination to give you a straight answer on this, but you might want to re post this in the contamination section for better help.

a sulfur smell is more than likely a bacterial infection....git rid of it....it will not recover in a fc with this.....take it outside and bury it...it might have a better chance of recovering out there. Are you by chance using a heating source to keep your tubs warm? If so, this could be what is causing your problems...cakes/casings/jars do not need heat to grow or fruit. Too much heat can cause bacteria to thrive in your fc. kat

he didnt say he totally got his nose in their and sniffed the hell out of it. He is just saying he noticed a smell and described what it smelled like. I dont think hes going to kill himself over that.

In the interim I found some other posts about using heat to incubate and how that can cause bacterial growth...that is exactly what I did. I didn't use it however, with my my other tubs, and they seem just fine. Well, live and learn I suppose.

On a serious note, like Tripchip said, he didnt stick his nose in the casing......he noticed the smell coming from it. Like i said in my original post, i think it is bacteria....toss it, isolate, or plant it outside...kat

I'll have to toss 'em. I can't plant 'em outside. I live in a townhome community where dogs, or kids or someone else is likely to eat 'em if they grow. It's too bad, but a learning experience at least. thanks for your input everyone.
