That brand has refined sugar if I'm not mistaken.  Check the ingredients.

It does. Is that a deal breaker?

Doesn't say refined per say, just Sugar and Agar.

Yeah, no sugar allowed, sorry. I just bought a cheap $12 coffee grinder and used the agar blocks Pasty uses. I'm in a place with a huge Asian population so it's easy to find an Asian market. They're like $1 or something super cheap.

Refined sugar favors contams and the myc stalls out on it. Plus you have no way to measure how much is in it.  I bought the same stuff by mistake my first time :sorry:

they sell this stuff in every Whole Foods I've ever been inside. Pricey, but reliably there in the Asian cooking isles.

Powdered agar packets like telephone are good too. Usually pretty cheap as well. $1 a packet is common.

Sweet. As usual, you folks have saved me time and trouble once again.
Oh yeah, I had heard Whole foods also carried it. I guess I'll have to venture into the headquarters for yuppie scum.

Is it like this?






Exactly like that.

Uwajimaya might carry that brand. I'll have to check it out tomorrow at lunch. I tried the amazon link, but I didn't think .20 cents worth of product was worth $70 in shipping charges. :shocked:

That's everything I get shipped to Canada. $230 for a 23qt presto. $75 spore syringes. Shipping is a bitch.

Is that one particular type of bacteria that colonizes real fucking quick or did I add too much sugar somehow?

Like 30 minutes maybe, I'm not sure.  I guess I'll do 50 minutes just to overkill it in the future.  Not all of them have that issue, just the two that I've seen, so far.  Though, I did get that on one or two of my last batch which I did for 45 minutes.  But I think that was a dish I tried to inoculate with spores.  I don't have any proof that I just didn't fail real hard trying to inoculate them.

Inoc,

I was sure it was the same as mine from your description. Definitely contamination. I had good ones from that batch too so I'm sure it's something external and not improper sterilization or a bad spore syringe or whatever.

Fungus,

I'm sure Uwajimaya has it, but I got mine at Ranch 99. If you buy a cheap little coffee grinder, you'll have basically a never ending supply of this stuff from a few packages of it. Grinding it is incredibly easy and storage is too.

Oh damn, I didn't even think about that place. Great call! I can even hit Harbor Freight and pick up a 'Martha', since I'll be right there.

Next on my list!
I have a syringe of Golden Teacher I'm gonna play with to get my agar down and then I'll buy the strain I'm gonna isolate for years to come!

Any suggestions?
