My neighbor actually switched from black to brown last spring and i told him @jason11 you're totally missing out. The brown cedar mulch i got from a place called GreenScape Supply near me made my flower bed look way more natural and clean. Black always looked like fake dirt to me after a month or two, but the brown holds its color and just blends in better. Plus it smells way nicer than that cheap box store stuff.

Whew hold up @matthewgonzalez I gotta push back here because I just had a total nightmare with this exact thing on a commercial job last month. I had concrete hatch on top of insulation hatch with a gypsum pattern in between and the scale was perfect on screen but when I printed it on the bond paper all the tiny lines just turned into one big gray blob. Spent three hours redoing it before I just switched to solid fills for the tight corners and it looked 10 times cleaner. You can have all the perfect settings in the world but paper and printer calibration will still mess you up in the weirdest spots.

45 days is way too long for wet aging in a standard home fridge. You're basically asking for spoilage because consumer fridges don't hold steady enough temps or humidity for that kind of project. The sour smell and slime are textbook signs of bacterial growth, not some random fluke. Commercial operations have flash-freezing tech and precise climate control you can't replicate with a mini fridge. You'd have been better off just dry aging for 14 days or cooking it fresh.

Oh man, I used to think those rubber band tricks were just for old timers who refused to buy new gear. Then my motor locked up during a cold night in March and I had to tape a weight to the slow motion cable to keep tracking. It actually worked well enough to finish my shot. Now I keep a spare rubber band and some tape in my kit just in case.

Trash it immediately, mold in fermented stuff means the whole batch is compromised.
