Oz, was the lid on the whole time? That is a whole lot of infection going on after a week and the contents would have been well sanitised after a 90 minute boil. Interesting experiment and a warning as to how quickly infections can gain a foothold.

The run-off tube was looped back from the ball valve back into the pot and the lid was sat on top. So there was about half an inch crack. I agree - I was surprised at the amount of infection. The pot was indoors and not in a drafty area....
