 Making Oyster LC's

**NOTE: I did search, but couldn't find the answer or somehow overlooked it.**
My Oyster culture syringes(Pink & Golden) arrived yesterday from a sponsor.(woot!) Anyhow, I'm about to start making some other LC's and would like to make LC's for the Oysters as well.(Basically doing it all at once.) The problem I'm having is that I can't find how much culture(cc's) to use for the Oysters. I'll be using quart jars for the LC's and will be using approx. 3-4 tsp.'s of honey per quart jar. Any help/links, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Gee Elsie, how do you do it?

Sounds like you know what you are doing. Just a squirt will work i am sure.

One tablespoon of light malt extract and one tablespoon of dextrose per quart of water seems to work for most any LC. Just go to a homebrew shop or order them online--they're cheap.
Shake the hell out those syringes to break up the mycelium in the syringe--I've tried to inoculate LCs before with culture syringes and gotten nothing. I'm guessing the volume I used to inoculate them didn't have much (or any) mycelial mass that would grow out.
You can always just go with two jars of LC, say, then once those grow out, inoculate LCs to your heart's content.

Thanks guys. I was assuming that since the syringes already contained viable cultures that it would take very little to get a jar going, I just didn't know for sure(treading on new ground here).
