    They are cool. I had them ready around 4pm. The rest of the medium looks good, but after sterilization they will turn the same way- drinkable...LOL

    What directions are you following? It might help troublehoot.

    It is geling before you sterilize it?

    It sounds like some liquid is getting in when you sterilize it. You could heat it for a while gently to evaporate off some water and sterilize it again.
