Look for a local home brew store, other wise northern brewer is a pretty legit online brew supply place.

Plates came out looking good. Used 1 tablespoon of the powdered agar. I believe RR says in his videos that 1 tablespoon = 2 grams.
My plan is to get good growth on them from a spore syringe I made last night and then use that to inoculate grain jars with.
that way I hopefully won't waste any Rye berries to a contamed syringe.




Im pretty sure its 6 grams.  Think about a gram of coke?




All powders have a different density.  I usually use more spoonfuls of agar than I do elme for equal weights.




Sure but thinking about a gram of coke on a Monday is decadent.

Ok so let  me see i have done it again  made my own agar using agar blocks and potato starch all ground up.  made 50 mini rounds and  20  full dish  with  8 no pour  dishes.  and even filling mini rounds to over flowing they still drying out. its kind of fun seeing them running in  the dishes. but  with the  no pour I just  add grain on top and shake. no contaminants  in my agar this time around. got to say  no pour make it so much easier  to  make a good spawn jar so that grain to grain is done great. This is only for doing my cubes as I am making GLC for my  shiitakes  which is a  done with 50/50 sawdust and grain. I just need something for cubes to keep the  contames out of the spawn

To be honest I'm not sure what I'm looking at :shrug: Try storing your pour plates in ziploc bags to keep them from drying out. As for the no pour containers, how big is the hole in them? Do those things for a good seal on the lid? My mini rounds usually have a few months before they dry out. A 1/4" hole should be plenty.

Wrap the entire round in foil all over making sure there is no opening for steam or water to get in.

Once wrapped you can kinda grind them on the stove top to flatten the foil on the bottom out so that they'll sit level in the pc and when stacked.

Don't grind them on the countertop or you'll get aluminum foil dust all over your nice counter and it's a pain to get off.

i used sfd's as the filter... anyone had a problem with this? and i'll try both fully wrapped and not. Also... How have peoples' experiences been with the ziploc rounds?

I am sure SFD works fine. I have used the ziploc ones but while they can work, I find that they are prone to excessive condensation as well as being large, unwieldy, and take up way too much room in my fridge. Give em a try if you want tho.

My favorite are the Ziploc pop tops they are smaller than the screw tops but bigger than the mini rounds which I find a bit small. I have also found they seem to hold up a little better than the mini rounds.
