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

scramble them although I just crack into jar and shake the heck outta it. burp jar everyday so I don't explode.

im sure you could let the shells in as its brewing....I didn't...cracked the eggs like I was making a batch of scrambled eggs...the last couple days the smell is really intensifying....its not getting the consistency Im looking for but the smell is there...I may just use this as a bait solution along with a couple other ingredients, at least the one jar....the other jar im letting go

these still smell really appealing, just not sure when they are going to get the consistency im looking for, im thinking I may have to add something to get them thicker

Good egg culturing takes some good luck with the conditions and containers being used or experience with doing it right every time. Don't give up you will get it down with some time and practice.

My second batch as well is not the consistency I was hoping for the smell is right just not the texture.

honestly, im not sure why im looking for the mayo consistency, probably because that's what I expect it to look like from what I hear from others. That being said, the smell is definatly good enough to add to some ground meat, some castor and glands and have a nice attractive bait. What I have wouldn't make a good base for a bait but I think it would make a decent lure or additive for bait or lure. Im just happy its not like the first batch I made.

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

so im 25 days into the second batch and its done gassing off still real runny consistency though but I feel like the smell is what ya'll have been describing im gonna take some fresh road killed deer and grind it up and add some of the eggs as a side ingredient then preserve fresh. may take and make a few pints of this deer base and eggs and experiment with some caster maybe one with some frog juice added in.

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

mine are still not thick but I don't mix mine, just shake it... but its not the sewage smell which is good, I have enough of that in another jar...the color is starting to turn blueish green and now I know its past what I want it to be so im just gunna use it as a bait solution and start a new batch, this time im goin to try something different....this is fun,..im also gunna try something else. funny think is no matter what it turns out like, eggs are cheap and the critters seem to like it any way it smells....

Actually these went beyond what I was looking for in smell, but they still are going to be a bait solution and don't smell rotten....the next batch is going to be worked when I get the smell I desire, I think when the smell is right I can turn it into mayo

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

I haven't added any and they seem to be just fine without it.

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

mine are still that egg nog consistency I believe there is a trick that is keeping us from getting that creamy mayo consistency like the pros get. trial and error and I will get the consistency down to that nice mayo consistency

What about adding something like xanthan gum to thicken it? Corn starch has to be heated, but I think xanthan will work at room temp.

I used egg yolks from hard boiled eggs to thicken mine. Also one of the ingredients added to the bait I make out of thickens up when it gets cool.

I still didn’t figure it out but I will. Definitely interesting and fun. All my fails still produced useable products though. One is turned into a bait solution that is goin to be for the winter. Another is goin to be used as a call station, just to see what it pulls in. One of them smells like a critter will definitely want to eat it and the other smells like they will roll on it. Winter and trail cams will tell. I know the smell and the consistency I’m looking for now. Thanks again BoB
