Do you really need 2 tbsp agar for 1 pint water?

That's what it says on the jar, but it seems like a lot.

Agar isn't the cheapest stuff in the world...

agar only costs like 1.50-2.00 for 2 sticks, 1/4 a stick will make up 10 dishes..I consider that very cheap...

I use about 20g per liter, but what kind of agar do you have? Pic of the jar?

You make it all possible. Doesn't it feel good?

Yup, 20g of agar agar sticks per liter here too. That costs me about $1.60 in materials if I factor in the cost of distilled water and the fractional cost of light malt extract.

Luck bastards - I can't agar sticks locally. I buy NOW agar powder:

http://www.luckyvitamin.com/p-2781-now-foods-agar-powder-2-oz?utm_source=amazonpa&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=NOWFoodsAgarPowder2oz&utm_content=51260&utm_campaign=amazonpa&site=www.amazonproductads.com&

It's like $12 a bottle with shipping and will do about 40 dishes - plus a couple bucks for a yam and a potatoe.

Guess it isn't horrible - problem might be that I do 20 dishes in a batch, but really only need 5 (even 10 would account for failure)

Might seem weird, but I like going Agar into LC's - basically just using the Agar as a cleanup step to try and keep from wasting bags.

Makes me think I should go pick up a few dozen packs of Agar Agar and hit the marketplace forum. It seems rare for a lot of people in smaller towns and NOW Agar is crazy expensive. :themoreyouknow:
