Stoopid Agar Question (Noob)
    #19401730 - 01/10/14 11:45 PM (10 years, 20 days ago)

Hi all,

Got a stupid question that I have to ask anyway, for lack of experience...

It's about Agar Agar dosage... I got my hands on some plain Agar (without nutrients). The box says that 5g gelifies 1L of water, however the Agar recipes list I found on the shroomery says to use 9g of agar for 500ml of water.

What quantity should I use? I suppose there may be some small differences between Agars from different brands, but I cannot imagine one agar being substancially "stronger" than another... in other words, even though my box says 5g for 1L, I should I use 9g for 500ml of water? I suppose the other ingredients like Oat meal, Amaranth Flour and others, will "dilute" and somewhat interfere with the gelification? Would that be the reason why one should use more agar than recommended by the vendor?

So please help! What should I do, respect the dosage on the box, or use the quantities mentioned in the recipes? I'm confused :smile:

Go with the 9g/500ml :thumbup:

Thanks! Then I'll stick to the shroomery's recipes, by the letter!
True, we're not making jello and sure this vendor knows nothing about mycelium and Petri Dishes :tongue:
