Day 3

*author’s note: I had fallen asleep last night before having pressed publish to make this post on time*

Today (3/19) when I went to check on my culture, I noticed that the top had dried out and cracked even with a “skin” having formed on top. This probably happend as a cause of my small bowl not being small enough to keep the culture from spreading out and obtaining more surface area. Luckily though, it was able to produce the gas bubbles needed to identify that inoculation of the culture had indeed taken place. The sight of bubbles was pleasant, however the smell of it was not. It did have the tone of a yeasty smell but it was over powered by a very cheesy/sweaty foot smell, very reminiscent of a blue cheese smell.

Update: Since I was unable to upload the images earlier, here they are.
