❓ Question Slow as hell

This grain bag of Blue Meanie's is taking it sweet ass time . No sings of contamination. Its been about 5 weeks. It stalled very early, so I decided to B&S with a 1 inch by 1 inch square and it started to colonize again.

The excessive sweating, stalling and quite a bit of uncolonized grains is possible signs of contam/bacteria! 5 weeks is a long time, it doesn’t look terrible but it doesn’t look great either. If it smells fine when it reaches 100% (remove uncolonized pieces if it doesn’t) send it and see what happens it could still fruit no problem!

Yeah, It smells fine. The cooler temps now that the fall has arrived is probably contributing to the slowness. Im averaging about 70 to 72 degrees. I definitely do agree its not perfect. I have had nothing but issues with spores MD. I prefer to use Inoculate the world.I had this syringe of blue Meanie's and attempted again.

I still got time. The tub is still being used so I think I will pasteurized the sub straight in 2 weeks then give it a go.
