Excellent step by step, list of ingredients, everything I need to know. I need to get into agar but have been uncertain how to start. These videos take all that uncertainty away. Thanks!

Do you have a video on how to make cvg? I’m trying to figure out if there is some type of weight ratio I can follow since coco bricks are usually over or under weight.

Can you link to the proper low lavibond malt? Is it the maltoform 10001 or is it Pilsner light?

Hey mate. If I used this method, can I use my instapot pressure cooker like for grain, and just do it longer? or is 60 min also enough in this situation as well?

45 minutes is plenty for liquids.

Another question. I just got my malt, but must have misread it as it is liquid malt extract. I am just going to experiment making plates, but do you have a recommendation on how much to use if I was doing the same as your video here?

@StipeCap 7 ай бұрын

I've not used liquid so just play with the ratios to see what works best.

WHats the brand of the glass bottle/plastic youre using for the agar?

@StipeCap 11 ай бұрын

They're Pyrex media bottles, 500ml. You can purchase from Amazon.

So should I warm my plates to get them close to my Agar temp before I pour to help prevent condensation? I try to pour around 44-47c and get my plates to the same temp, but I still keep getting fucking condensate

@StipeCap 11 ай бұрын

The room you're pouring in will always be cooler than the interior of the plates, so you'll get condensation.

@StipeCap Yes but how do YOU get rid of the condensation? I've been just doing my pours and leaving the lids on without wrapping under my flow hood because I do find the the plates breathe some. Then the next day I'll wrap them. I don't like my method though. I find that the condensate can really decrease the quality of my cultures.

@jamestraylor2162 I pour, then leave unwrapped in flow for an hour or two, then wrap the entire stack with a verticle row of cling wrap. I show how to in another video. Any remaining condensation clears up in a week or so.

Thank you Stipe for the clarification. I've watched all your videos and read all your main posts on Shroomery. I've used all your recommendations and everything works. Thanks man

@jamestraylor2162 Glad to have been of assistance. Thanks for your support, brotha. I usually pour sleeves of blanks well in advance, they're crystal clear by the time I need them.
