molded jerky?

How long did it sit around to get 'moldy'? Are you sure it is not just the salt showing up?

I let it cool and put in plastic bag. It was about 7 days old. It's not salt, it's green and fuzzy. So much for trying to make it last more than 3 days.

I always lay my jerky out on a towel to completly cool before bagging it. I have noticed if I throw it in a bag when it is still a little warm condensation forms in the bag. Then I always freeze it in a zip lock. When I am ready for jerky I pull out some and within just a few minutes it is ready to eat.

Oops...I see now that you did let it cool. the only thing I can suggest is the freezer. Maybe some one else will have another solution.

I'd say it's still not dry enough or staying too moist in thr baggie. Some recommend to keep in paper bag or jar with holes in lid in the fridge. I have made well over 1000# of jerky and dont think i have had any go moldy.Cook it till it will bend and kinda of crack but not break. I also vacuum pack mine.....

I am no jerky expert for sure but it takes two elements to grow mold on the food source: moisture and oxygen. Sounds to me like dmerrell has the right idea in vacuum packing.
