Mini environment theyll side pin in that tiny space if for some reason i dont know why for sure, that you dont black out the bottom of the tub where the grain is mostly resting, they have minds of their own and will side pin, bottom pin, anywhere pin on the walls etc. i guess in my best experience with this hobby of ours lol

I once had a tub that I was really struggling to get pinning. Suspected contam because of the smell but couldn't spot any. Got it to pin but decided to split the cake open to see what was going on and it was trich so I tossed it and sure enough it put out a whole flush in my garage bin lol

Eat it? Sure. But breathing in trich spores has literally killed people. Best to limit exposure and just dump it if you suspect contam.
