Would you like an AgarBomb? Agar pouring concept.

So, i have recently gotten into agar, spurred on by a fantastic, helpful member here (you know who you is ) who hooked me up with Really nice cultures
 
I work as a bartender when i'm not with my culture.
I know that many people prefer liquor bottles to jars when preparing and pouring agar, because they have a narrower mouth and are easier to get controlled pours from. As a bartender, i handle many liquor bottles, and pour from them, in a controlled manner, regularly. I thought about this the other night and just googled it. Check it out.

Link to awesome looking stainless steel (presumably autoclavable) liquor bottle pour spouts.
I think that one of these on your agar container would make pouring a cinch. It would probably blow off the top of the bottle in the PC, but i figure that it could be PC'ed separately in a aluminum foil sheath, and applied to the bottle just before pouring.
Just a thought, figured i would share.
I am about to order some so i can check out their performance. I am thinking a templeton, crown or chambourd bottle, my glovebox is only 12" high.
Peace

Nope, haven't tried it yet, just thought about it the other night as i was pouring a drink.
I have only ever seen plastic pour spouts in bars. I googled stainless pour spout a few minutes ago and found these.
Only talk here. When i get them and try a batch, i will update.
(OP makes this abundantly clear)

I don't think this is like, necessary, because Anyone with a steady hand can pour plates out of a mason jar (thats what i have been doing).
My specific circumstances require that my pours be Thin, otherwise i get agar gelled at an angle (highly uneven floors, turn of the century building).
I am on a quest to pour a sleeve of 20 dishes without spilling a single solitary drop of agar, and getting zero condensation on my lids.
I also think that anything that improves accuracy, precision, sterility, or efficiency in mycology is useful and relevant. I ordered a box of 12 of these, smallest i could get, IF IT WORKS WELL i will put a post in Market if anyone wants one.

So, i took some nice pics of the pour spouts, and the pour spouts attatched to a Dsaronno bottle, and the first two i sterilized all melted and shit after 20mins at 15psi, and the second two that i boiled in alfoil sheaths which worked awesome, and the agar being poured, with no spills or waste, and the ammount left in the bottle when i was done (almost enough to pour 2 sleeves from 1/2L agar).
I will post them when i get a new computer, hopefully soon, i saturated my macbook with green tea. 
Fortunately i have a Backup Drive  which contains 30 days of music, 5 years of photographs, Many documents, and room to spare. GungGung highly recommends Backup Drive.
These things work. I got a box of 12, 10 now. Could part with a few. Heres market thread
Synchronicity. My parents named me after a grain which i grow mushrooms on. Ergot grows on the same grain. I pour whiskey made from that grain through a pour spout which inspires me to pour agar solution with nutrients derived from this grain in it through these metal pour spouts. To cultivate mycelium which will be transfered to this grain. Synchronicity. And it makes the best fucking bread.
