Experimenting with live culture. Need some advice.
    #17330490 - 12/04/12 12:50 AM (12 years, 1 month ago)

I am currently experimenting live culture using 4% light karo per 100ml of water in half pint jars. I cannot for the life of me pull un-caramelized jars out of the pressure cooker after sterilization. I am cooking them for 15 minutes at 15 psi. I have tried bringing up the temp slowly, putting a towel in the bottom, stacking plates on top of towel and placing jars on top of the plates.....never fails...jars always come out looking like dark urine... :/ I’m open for suggestions on how to get clear, 100% sterile jars using karo. thank you

Use light malt extract for your LCs.

Did you try knocking it up? My honey LC started yellow with honey residue on the bottom but once the myc started eating it up it turned crystal clear. As long as the Karo is crystallizing or its not way to dark I think you will be fine. It should be clear but not necessarily colorless.

Hey I took a quick look at malt extract on eBay and quickly noticed there are different kinds and types....what kind am I looking for? It is all marketed for beer and wine making purposes.....I’m looking for the kind(s) that work in live culture the best. The reason I really just want to do it with karo is because I already have it and want to do something now....while the malt extract is going to take a little bit to get here.

You can use pretty much anything in a liquid culture.  Search for teks.  If you're worried about it being clear, your best bet is extra light malt extract (ELME).
