After many years on this site and numerous decent grows I've have decided to try get into agar work after finally finding what I hope is agar agar..
This is the agar agar or as it's called here "China Grass"

Instant potato's (Smash)

Instant Potato Ingredients. Is the preservative okay in there?
Knife for isolating etc..

Can't find mini rounds but will either of these do?


The other stuff I have honey/Karo, Micropore tape, food coloring etc etc.
The awesome Tek I'm going to follow is Pastywhyte's "Easy Agar"
Am I all set? How you guys doing?

I also just started agar and so far I like pre pouring in 4 oz/ 1/4 pint jars with silicon injection port.

As long as the containers are PP5, they should work.

Nice. Jars are difficult to find around here as well. Small Jars for Agar work are non existent so I'm going the pre-pour tupperware route as outlined in the Tek I'm following. Good luck for your future endeavors man

I went to a Asian Market and bought whole dried agar seaweed and powdered agar. I haven't tried the whole agar yet but the powder works great. And the powdered agar Is $1.35 per 25 grams.

My 50 gram here was R24 which would be equivalente to around $2.25. not a bad deal, considering you don't seem to use much in the recipes.
