LC Questions
    #14136987 - 03/17/11 02:12 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Just got my Light Malt Extract and I am planning on starting a LC after my first harvest, which I predict will be in just over a week now. Should I polyfil the holes in my jar lid? or just use aluminum foil?

And I use 1tbs of LME per cup of water, I believe? PC for 20-25min, then let it cool. Knock it up like normal?

I use SFDs or Whatmans for GE in my LCs. But I hear poly works, I just don't want to risk it. (& I'm not about to debate the topic of poly as a GE + contam barrier anymore)

I use 1g ELME per 250mL water.

I use polyfil, but I don't fill the jars more than about halfway to prevent sloshing.

(Anybody wants to debate whether polyfil works as a filter is an idiot and can be safely ignored.)

Thanks doc. Gonna start on those soon.  I could also just scrape off spores from a  print into my LC, right?

Only if you don't mind failing.

LC from spores is a gamble anyway. If you have to get them off the foil, etc, that's a lot of extra steps.

LC from spores isn't a good idea, go with agar instead. It's cheap and easy.

I haven't looked into any agar stuff. That's basically just live tissue correct?

I agree with Doc_T

Spores to LC is always a gamble.
I learned that the hard way.

If you want to try you hand at LC
But don't feel you want to go agar
This is a very noob friendly LC Clone tek
Agar is not hard but if you don't
have the required materials yet
Seriously give this a shot I have
always had success with it.

Taking a core sample with a needle will be a bitch.
Deff for someone who never attempted a LC before.
Try THIS
You will have better luck with this over spores, or a core sample like stated above.

The first LC I ever made was from that tek :shrug:

Boil a jar in water for 30 minutes. Take it out leaving jar half full
with the hot water. Leaving the water on the stove boiling.
Drop a small amount of honey into the water and then
put on the lid and wrap with foil. Place back into boiling water
for another 30min. Let cool overnight and inject spores in the morning.

Be as sterile as possible of course.



SO FUCKING EASY
