Wort Agar???
    #21929858 - 07/11/15 05:30 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

I picked up a small bottle of "wort" agar, 12g for $3.

It says on the bottle it is meant for yeast and mushroom cultures. So did I buy the right stuff? I can upload a picture when I get home if that helps.

wort will grow fungi just fine.

wort is just beer before yeast ferment it. yeast and our cube friends are remarkably similar in some aspects and a world different in others but wort agar will work just fine.

Ok. I have the agar and then a bag of powder LME.  Besides water that's all I need right? To keep it simple at this point. It'll be my first time using or making agar.

I wouldn't add more LME it would probably be too nutritious.

post a picture later to see if there's any other good information like the sugar content and the amount of agar per liter.

Here is a picture of the bottle.  It's bottled by the brewery store I bought it from and I would have to guess isn't a certain brand.



If this is pre-mixed agar powder how should I prepare it? Just add a certain amount of water?

Since I bought a big bag of LME to use with the agar, what type of agar should I be looking for when I run out of this kind?  I'd rather mix my own than buy these 12g bottles for $3 a pop. Unless that's a good deal. Idk.

I think they want you to use 1L of wort with that. it's just agar-agar powder is all. probably 15 or 20g

since it's just agar use 10-20g LME per liter of water.

telephone brand agar comes in 25g pouches for 1 dollar usually

He said 12 grams so more like 500-700ml of water

Edit: nevermind I didn't see that it'd just agar agar

Yea, the Telephone is what I got too.

When first learning agar, I had bought a larger bag of that "Golden Coins" agar or some shit on eBay real cheap, but it wouldn't work.

Couldn't figure out why and bodhisatta or another experienced regular had me check the ingredients on the bag.

Sure enough, sugar was one of the first couple ingredients.

It had a shitload added sugar. I then got some telephone brand and it works great...:thumbup:

Oh yea, I also bought a small bag of "lab grade" agar and it's great too. Just kinda expensive compared to the food grade stuff.
