Post by: Indian on June 17, 2007, 11:54:26 AM
A few of my jars are experiencing an orange-ish growth. Any ideas what it is?

Pic is blurry but I think,Thats a contam of some kind.
Does it smell?
What does it smell like?
If it doesnt smell like mushrooms then it's more than likely a contam.

I got orange on mine after the first flush.  Doesn't seem to be a problem, could be a mineral residue, or a reaction.  I have not experienced anything wrong, and no progression of the discoloration.
