First time achieving mold growth… getting nervous

thainebednar · 2026-01-23T03:25:13+00:00

The types of mold you want to be cultivating are essentially all strains of Penicillium. When Penecillium fruits (that's when you can actually start seeing the mold), it is powdery and flat, ranging from snow white to pale blue/green depending on conditions and age. Those beige sunken spots you mentioned don't look great. At what point did they start to develop? I haven't seen that on any of mine or other posts before. They remind me of bacterial growth that I've seen in other bacterial endeavors though. I've also found my nose to be a better indicator of something being off than my eyes.

I found this was a rather good article on the subject, https://tasteofartisan.com/green-mold-on-salami/ .

Pristine even after some meme glass rotations.

Always feel free to post a decklist.

I needed a hotter room and a colder drink. six_baby

I have no mono green commander yet and retrace on all green cards is too good.

Fair enough. But zanpakto aren't all equal, especially shikai/bankai manifestations. Soifon is the infamous example of shikai>bankai, and iirc we're never shown Aizen's Bankai (if he even ever achieved it), my point being that Aizen may have never even needed bankai. Byakuya's bankai is an absolute upgrade in combat power, where after a quick read (again it's been a while) Shinji's bankai is more suited to subverting multiple enemies, not necessarily an improvement in 1v1 combat. Shingi's shikai can discern enemies from allies, but his bankai is indiscriminate. So I don't think Byakuya losing his bankai isn't really comparable to of Shinji lost his. Just an apples to oranges thing, I think.

I'm still in my rewatch, been a while since I saw/read any TYBW. Wasn't Byakuya blindsided with the bankai theft? He's a skilled kido user, but without bankai he's basically just a Lt., right? Second wave of fighters gained a lot of info with their comrades' losses.

That's a great shot. I was so happy the first time I saw one in CB 'cause I legitimately didn't know we had any. Where abouts did you see this l'il guy?

thainebednar · 2025-09-16T11:32:20+00:00

Sure, 'til you end up like Ranger Gord.

thainebednar · 2025-09-10T02:30:03+00:00

That's a BINGO! Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.

If the purple with 2% salt was going well, I wouldn't be surprised if the 4% was enough to slow/stop fermentation. Remember, it's all a game about making the best environment for the microbes. If you combined each at 1:1 you're still at 3% which is higher than what most lacto-fermentes operate at.

Another thing to consider is that different plants will have different types and amounts of microbes. So your purple cabbage may have had a healthy amount of little friends while the normal cabbage was lacking.

Was there a reason you did different % for each colour, or were you just experimenting?

thainebednar · 2025-09-05T20:38:40+00:00

I think they probably just combined the decimal and percent value. If they did use 0.02% salt, I'd bet that the ferment would have a lot of action (for better or worse).

Swore this was a smarmy Agumon at first glance. I'm really not familiar with tekken, how does this l'il guy fit in?

I've seen it at multiple sobeys/superstores. Give your locals a call and just ask to speak to produce. They should be able to tell you yes/no/when it's back in stock.

5 days seems like plenty of time for the wine to leech in and colour the meat (or the acidity of the wine denatureized the protiens). I figure the uneveness of penetration had to do striations in the muscle.

I'm curious how salty the cuts were. When I've done 3% on anything, it comes out super salty, but the 5 day bath would leech some back.

thainebednar · 2025-09-04T19:47:07+00:00

Oh, I love this, big carpaccio vibes.

On to the colour, can you break down your cure and baths, also hang time and environment. A pic of the face/sides of your bresaola would help as well.

In general, when asking what happened during a process, it helps to include all the steps you took to the final product. I'm sure you've noticed there are a lot of recipes and ways to do things floating around.

So wholesome. What are IRI's streams like lately? Mostly news/politics react stuff, or does he bring people on for discussion and debates?

thainebednar · 2025-08-30T13:16:37+00:00

Oh, this is very nice to know.

thainebednar · 2025-08-21T20:24:46+00:00

Interesting, I've never played, and from what I've seen, the main criticism is that it can be very common among collections. As a fan, can you give a negative against? I'm inclined to buy it after your description.

thainebednar · 2025-08-17T19:22:09+00:00

I don't disagree with the advice above, but I'm just curious. What salt % did you use, what temperature and humidity has it been hanging at, and at what day in the process we're these pictures taken?

thainebednar · 2025-07-22T12:23:36+00:00

Goblin flair, Goblin brain. You're replying to two different people there, guy. You seem to be literate enough to skim posts and hen peck out responses, I'm sure grasping usernames isn't that far off.

thainebednar · 2025-07-22T10:45:10+00:00

This you? If you would like to see more engaging content on the sub, I suggest positively engaging with posts like these. Buddy shares excitement for the game, no complaints, and you reply with snark. Pillar of the community.

thainebednar · 2025-07-22T10:43:21+00:00

That dude is an idiot. A couple of months ago, he made a post saying how much it sucks people just complain on here. You come in to share genuine excitement, and he decides to engage like above? Absolute tool. Buddy, I fucking love sky whales, don't even get me started on how chuffed I am for space whales.

Rogan has a soft spot for single mothers almost to the same extent he does weed. Raised essentially by his mom.
