"No, this production of penicillium chrysogenum is perfect," Dan shook his head and replied. "Now all you need to do is a sterile fermentation of the mould."
And that was where the problem arose. Damien had asked one of the blacksmiths to make the fermentation chamber but —

"It's nothing," Damien rubbed the back of his head and sighed. He pointed to the fermentation chambers and explained, "There are multiple openings in the chamber. What I needed was a perfectly sealed container."
