I would highly suggest using an old Whisky or other glass
liquor bottle with a poly-fill/tyvek breather in the lid. Check
out http://www.mushroomvideos.com/Agar-Petri-Dishes to see
exactly what I am talking about.

This method will allow the container to breath, and if you
let it cool slowly you should not have boil over.

P.S Sometimes it takes time to get a response try not to
bump your thread unless it has been 24 hours since your
last post. As well RR's videos are a big help :thumbup:

I read your tek about the wiskey bottle as the jars were sitting in the PC. I was rushing around to find something small, like a crown royal bottle as my PC isint very large.

I think everything worked out alright, next time im hoping for such a quick response ill use IRC. Thanks alot for your helpful guides

Your jars will not blow up, they will seal themselves with a partial vacuum as they cool. I store extra agar like this. you can keep it a couple years till you need it.

Breaking the seal is a bitch (use a sterile flamed knife tip) but if you open them somewhere clean like a glove box or in front of a flow hood no harm done.

Congrats! you have just canned your agar!!

No worries, thanks for your addition to my Grow supplies
in Canada thread. Welcome to the Shroomery. Let me be the
first to lay +5:mushroom2: on you. You will soon learn that
there are 1 million ways to skin a cat, but some things are
standard procedure. I personally would not create vacuum
sealed agar unless I had a flowhood to work in front of.

Do not let this next bit scare you off, but be careful
pouring agar in your glove box. Make sure your GB is big enough
for the batch you are doing, take your time preparing,
let your agar cool till you can handle the bottle/jar, and
try to make your pours quick and clean. Never hold parts
of your hand/fingers over the petri's.

I had my last batch of GB agar pours fail because of the reasons
above minus placing my hand/fingers over the dish's. Losing
19 out of 20 dish's is humbling and makes you realize how
careful you must be.

:goodluck:

When it is done just shut off the heat let it cool on the element slowly. when the safety goes down (silver knob on presto cooker) or whatever indicator says it's ok to open let it cool till you can hold it and it's time to pour.

I find a syringe is great, suck up 5 cc in a sterile syringe and put it in a dish. your dish size may be different but put in whatever it takes to make 2 millimeters of agar in it.

Repeat as needed, stack.

Let cool and use.

If you don't have Parafilm use sections of plastic wrap, cut one inch chunks off a roll and stretch it around.

PM me if you have problems, when I sober up I'll reply....

Great pour bottles! the plastic screw top lid can be PCd, get the 250 ml one it'll fit in your PC.

Peter has the right idea. I have used 250ml bottles and they
work fine. Mix up 100ml of agar (4-5 dish's worth) and place
it in the bottle. You should never fill an agar bottle with a
filtered lid more then halfway or it will most likely boil over.
When I use a 750ml bottle I can fit 500ML of agar inside without
issues.

As well place a bit more water in your PC when doing agar. This
will help reduce boil over as well.

Not to confuse the issue but sometimes I spoon chilled agar into dishes and then PC the dishes with the tops on.

PP plastic or glass/Pyrex dishes only.

Ya heat it slow and cool it slow, all good.

I built little racks to keep them level.

Just stick to the normal way, then play around.

Yes more water, 4 inches I use and let it cool on the element.


Slooooooowwwwwwwww!

Or it will boil and fuck you, not that cool "My girlfriend stuck her finger up my ass while she blew me!"
More like that "I got thrown in the drunk tank with some dude named BUBBA and he fucked me!"
That kind of Fucked...I really should get off line now....

7 beer post sorry, still kinda valid, I stand by it.

Atta boy! lol Sound a bit tipsy there. Iv gotten fucked by
agar a few times. Trying to pour slants twice iv had that ah
shit moment. I then invested in proper PP cultubes and all is well.

As mentioned above also had a HUGE contam problem that ruined
an entire batch. Rushing + To big of a batch in to small of a
glove box = Fail

Make sure you set aside enough time to complete your task. Also
make sure you will not be disturbed or be called away from your
project...Im rambling, that other Canadian is drunk, and this
Canadian is stoned
