Day 13

When going back to check on the culture today, I came to the surprise of finding that a fuzzy substance had grown on the culture. Luckily, the skin had formed and protected the culture below from an y contamination. I had also noticed that there was a small space of separation between the skin and the culture layers.

The smell of this culture batch was a bit faint when compared to the previous batch. After removing the skin, I proceeded with collecting, feeding, and watering my new culture batch. Once that was done I covered it and placed it back into its designated fermenting area.

Photo 1: A top layer of fuzz grow on top of the culture skin, probably not mold but lint from the kitchen towel. However, I will not entirely rule out the possibility of it being mold.
Photo 2: The skin lay serves as protective barrier from any potential contaminants. As shown in the photo, culture under the skin is pure and free of any fuzz or other “unnatural grown”
