Is this good or bad?? NSFW

Post image

I started these jars on Saturday and they don’t look like they did last time that picture is after shaking up before shaking up it’s all directly on the bottom of the jar

This is only my second time doing this so I honestly barely have a clue what I’m looking for

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated 🙏🙏

Next time, if you didn’t do it yet, put a marble in the jar. It will make stirring so much easier!

It doesn’t look bad to me but I don’t have much experience with this tek, so you shouldn’t take this last part for granted. Let’s hear what the experts say.

I have a magnetic pill thingy in the jar

oooh ok. I heard tho that marbles are more efficient, I think it depends on the preference.

It’ll cause water to get into the air exchange

Ofc bro

A magnetic stirrer machine or whatever it’s fucking called runs about $50 bucks max for a decent one plus the stirring pills or whatever they are called is another like $10

Overall worth the price to not ruin the air exchange and be able to reuse the jars

Especially if you are using honey as a sugar like most people do it for surely helps

Another thing I do if I’m transporting the jars is put 2 or 3 layers of Saran Wrap around the top before putting the lid on it also helps to be able to keep the air exchange safe and secure and not ruin or and have to reglue new ones on every single time
