      Hi I have some sort of larva in my medju blocks can I still allow them to hang? I have another 4 weeks to go before I ferment for 2 weeks. I hope I don’t have to throw out the blocks. How do you prevent any bugs from getting to the blocks I watch YouTube videos that are from Korea I’m sure they have bugs.

      1st I let it sit in the sun on a tray covered by a hood that for food on the table. When it’s dried on the outside, I tie them w/ rice stalks and put clothes on them (I made bags from white organza) and tied the top. So they’re hanging like laundry.
      I live in Indonesia so it’s super hot these days and the sun is strong. I hung them up on my porch away from direct sunlight. No problems w/ bugs of any kind
