Hey !

First time making garum and using koji at all.

It's been about 8 weeks in the process, as you can see it didn't developp as much as I expected, to my despair. It didn't change color in any way, still "liquidy", smell is a bit mushroomy but in a good sense i guess.
Also I recently found out some mold patches at the top, today I removed them, stirred the slur and sprinkled some salt at the top. I pretty much followed the recipe of Johnny Kyunghwo, so I did not stir or touch it whatsoever. Should I ?

So should I throw it away bc of mold or bc of "non-efficiency" ? Or should I just wait more ?

Thanks for the tips ! (Sorry if my english is not perfect)
