Yeah, sub karo for dex. Homebrew shops have it, maybe labeled as corn sugar. Maltodextrin is some other thing, don't get that.

So add 20g(?) karo, .25tsp LME, and .25tsp yeast to 500g waterQuote:
afrosheen said: Agar recipe: 500ml distilled water, 10g light malt extract, 10g agar agar strips (or powder, or whatever). Bring water and agar to a rolling boil, add LME, reduce heat and continually stir until it looks right. Should take no longer than 10 minutes once the water boils.
I used that recipe the second time, but I boiled the water and added the agar. It went poorly.
The first time, I just mixed the agar, LME, and cold water, shook well, poured, and PC'd. It turned out ok, except that it was really dark after PCing for 30 minutes. I may try this again and only PC for 20.
I'll try your way and if I screw that up again, I'll try the cold mix for 20 minutes.
So glad I found a local source for agar agar powder... $1.49 for .88oz.

So for LC, add 30g(?) karo, .25tsp LME, and .25tsp yeast to 480g(?) water?
Think those adjustments would be about right, or close enough?

Try a tablespoon of karo plus a teaspoon of malt, and optionally 1/4 or 1/8 tsp of yeast (any kind) to 500 grams of water

I was able to rinse it out with just a trickle of water and afterwards, you could just see the faint outline of where it was.

Pretty nasty bacteria, yeah.
The only reason I go with a rolling boil in my recipe is because agar agar strips are super tough and if you don't boil they'll never melt down. I ended up with lumpy agar the first time. Lesson learned.
With powders you can mix it all cold and PC, and skip the boiling step.

About three months ago I got two syringes from a vender and one had bacterial infection. I sent them an email and they sent me two syringes for my troubles. The syringe that was infected was ATL 7. myc

Word, that's how my recipe is, LME and no dex. Have a big bag of dex with no use for it (yet).

I just dumped 5 lcs, 4 rye jars, and a PF. I overloaded my garbage disposal.

LOL, that's pretty funny. Most of that stuff could have gone in a regular trash bag or out in the bushes/garden/compost heap. I don't punish my disposal anymore, I trash what goes bad.
