LME/Karo LC ratios?
    #12382685 - 04/13/10 12:15 AM (13 years, 10 months ago)

I was wondering how much I should use of karo for a LME/karo recipe?  I know it's usually 4% total, so a heaping tablespoon each of LME/DEX per quart of water, when you're using dextrose, but is it different for karo, since it's not pure dextrose?  Would I need to use more, or would a heaping table spoon be ok?

There are a number of great recipes for any common LC ingredient if you search for it under trusted cultivators only.  Including weights. ~P~

I don't know of any LME/Karo recipie. I do know that you can use just LME at 1 gram or half of a teaspoon per 500ml of water.

Also I know that karo by itself can be utilized.

That was the first thing I did, the only thing that came up for both lme and karo was an experiment oatman did a long time ago.  No definite ratios.

Both of these things I'm aware, but whether I should add more karo is still yet to have been uncovered.

I guess since no definite ratios have been worked out previously, it's experiment time. :laugh:

Now THAT'S the power of positive thinking.
Give your thread some time too, you just posted this thread and we are in the low traffic hours here at the shroomery.
However, I like your attitude.

You want a final concentration of not more than about 4% sugars by weight.
I don't know how much water is in karo, but maybe half?

A teaspoon of LME per quart jar is plenty- add variable karo to experiment.
Or use dextrose powder.

Malt makes sediment, don't let it weird you out.

In my experience this is one case where less is more. 4% is risky. I prefer 1%.

I agree with leopardman i dont go over 2.5%, most of mine are 1.2% or 2.1%.

I knew Doc would be the one to come through with the answer on this LC sugar ratio question. lol
Doc, I noticed you really understand your sugar ratio's. Excellent work sir!!
Where did you get your information about sugar ratio's and LC's?

Hm, I actually just realized that my calculations were horribly inaccurate.  Upon further consideration, if LME has a median of 45% sugar content, and karo has 17% sugar content, 1 table spoon of each per quart of water would come out to about a 1% sugar content.  So still, if I were to use leopordman's and badman's recommendations, that would be a good ratio, but definitely not what I thought it was.

I plan on using a coffee filter to filter out any sediments.

Right here on this site, somebody did the experiment.
But too-strong concentration of anything in solution means limited opportunity for growth.
