Is this reptibark still good?
Comments (4)Thank you Vladimir, I was hoping so. Whenever I prepare the reptibark, I use a mesh laundry bag when I do my overnight soaks, that way I can just pull it out of the container (I haven't drilled holes in it yet), rinse again with the hose, and let it drip dry a bit before I use it. Today, once I pulled it out, I thoroughly rinsed it (much longer than usual) and I'll let it sit until Sunday when I'm ready to use. With this 4 day soak, I may have ruined one of my bench parts. I use this heavy block to keep the laundry bag from floating when I do the soak. A one day soak is ok, but having it sit in the brown water for so long has tinted it!

Comments (1)The quality will be poor, quite mushy. As for safety it all depends on if the jars were still covered with water or not. Hard to imagine after 5 hours of boiling but if they were then yes, then they would be considered safe to consume. If not, then no. Technically they would not be considered safe as the lids would have sealed and released several times during that long time and outside air and possibly water could have been sucked into the jars. Safe processing per the guidelines requires the jars remain covered by at least 1" of water at all times even if it means you have to add more. Ultimately the choice is yours to make. You may find the decision is made for you once you open one of the jars and see the poor boiled quality. Dave...See MoreIs this old sourdough starter is still good to use?
Comments (16)Here’s an update: a bubble or two appeared after about 12 hours, and now after about 40 hours (one feeding, no discard, just sitting on covered with light towel counter) there are several (see pics). So I guess it’s alive! Overnight the little layer of dark separation that you see formed. I’m thinking I’ll try to pour that off and feed, without discard, as per @pilllog’s suggestion. Also, it still smells quite strong. Volume didn’t increase in the 40 hours. @artemis_ma: i don’t suggest waiting 1-1/2 yrs between loaves!!...See Moreductless dryers - slower but still good?
