When I made my batch of cultured eggs I used a large plastic container and stretched T-shirt material over the mouth and used rubber bands to hold it in place. Then screwed the lid on about one turn. They are currently a yellow mustard like consistency with a mild smell to them. I'm going to blend some egg and BTO together and see what sort of reaction I get.

Would aging a new batch in a root cellar change the outcome? You don't need to "age" them in a root cellar to achieve what you're trying to do.Plenty of people out there making them without one. JMO, you need to keep an eye on the batch so if it starts to go sideways you can correct it sooner rather than later.

my first batch of eggs ever was a flop the rooster had already fertilized the eggs I contribute the blood spots to the failure. Although those rotten eggs still have quit a drawing power if you use them accordingly. Like bob mentioned deep or high or flat use them as a rub lure! Yotes and foxs rub a lot more then most think.

Seems like a lot of work rotting down those eggs. I have 3 bottles of SFE so I'm good to go. I use to have the formula but I lost It .

I think that’s my problem....I confused rotting down eggs with culturing eggs....I want the creamy sweet smelling stuff not the sewage smelling stuff but the more info I gain I’m realizing there may be some good value in this messed up batch I have going. I just got 2 pints jars filled with fresh eggs today. Im gunna try a redo.

them look awesome bob lots of babysitting time involved! My first 4 gallons turned out great I just let them keep aging. Till they turned a grayish green then I poured the fish oil to them and made a amazing bait solution. Couple of quarts to 6 cubed up ground hogs made a nice effective bait.

I may have missed it but do you just crack the eggs into a jar or do you mix them too?

you keep working on the eggs you will get it . It is not very difficult once you pin the process down . Good Luck .

I'm trying a tiny batch I cracked 6 eggs in a quart jar I used our immersion wand blender to mix them up. Started them the 22 of Oct been venting them off each day and giving it a shake. I've been giving them a sniff these last couple of days and to my nose kind of a rich hard boiled egg smell. Plus they get a little custard like top each day. I'm storing mine in basement J

I started 2 quarts and they are comming along great. How much sodium benz, if any,. should I add at the end if I'm not using any time soon? Thanks

Well the 2 quarts are 13 days into it and are more like an egg snog consistency than mayo or cake batter. The smell is of strong egg with a slight sour type smell to me. Not bad, just a slight sour smell. It doesn't stink or smell of rotten eggs. How many days should I go before seeing a change in consistency or should I start a new batch and use this as is? I've had it on the counter. average about 65-70 degrees.
Thanks

Did you do anything to stop them at their current stage? Benzoate?
