Storing and using grain water * 8
    #22090249 - 08/14/15 07:42 AM (8 years, 5 months ago)

After prepping 20 quarts of oats, I had tons of water left over.


I typically try to save at least a quart from every batch.


The easiest way I've found to store it is very simple!


Now you have a bunch of premeasured little cubes of nutritional power! I really like to make agar with them!

Grain-Water Agar Recipe (8-10 pasty plates; ymmv depending on cube size)
- 2 grain ice-cubes
- 3 ice-cube slots worth of water
- 1.5 grams of agar
- 3 drops of food coloring

this should equate close to 1/2 cup of water for every 1.5 grams of agar. if you have a drastically different ice-tray, just premeasure your 1/2 cup of water then pour it into the trey to see how many slots it takes up.

nice touch with the ice cube tray! I use a coke bottle myself, these look good if you just need a set of plates on the go!
You could save yourself a couple questions by saying something in OP on cube size maybe?

cant see the vid but thats my comp. problem. the previous ones have been real good bet this one's too :thumbup:

oh yeah I saw that, I was thinking of ice/liquids to agar ratios! I shoulda made that more clear.
it doesnt really matter as it'll be fine in a wide range but newbs like to obsess and us others like to skew things for germination f.ex.

oh ok. the water and ice equates to half a cup of H20 to 1.5 grams of agar. added that too.

Good stuff munch, I maybe was a bit of a nit pick but my intentions were good :lol:

gonna try using a cube tray next time, sounds pretty sweet to just use a set no of ice cubes and not measure shit anymore!

Can you maybe link up what kinda ice tray you're using?  Would hate to use one that actually is different enough to fuck up the agar/water ratio like space was saying.  I measure everything pretty exactly when doing my agar, so I'd want to be confident that my tray is meeting my measurements, or whichever adjustment to them I'm trying to make.

Or is your point more to take the amount of water you need and disperse it across as many cube-slots as it fills in your tray to see what the repeatable amount is for yourself?

Nice! I've always wondered if grain water could be used in agar. Doesn't the agar need a bit of sugars in it too? I mean, I imagine this has clearly worked for you, but I have read that the composition of agar media consists of starch, sugars, and agar.

Grain water has plenty of sugar.

yes, the 1/2 cup of water was premeasured, then poured into the slots, which equated to 5 slots. Ideally, I would shoot for a 50/50 mix of water/grainwater, but rather than cut 1 ice cube in half, I just went with 40/60 cuzz it works fine. I've also updated the OP with some more verbage to address this.

I've also added honey to this mixture before and it fucked it up royally. 30+ plates all contaminated as fuck. you won't need additional nutes when using grainwater.

Going to be doing grains later on today. Been wondering what to give my isolate other than PDA, this is the solution. :headbang:

Doing nearly the same thing here,
but i prep the agar directly and freeze it in ice cube bags

i just take 2 cube for each agar plate when i need it. No prep ^^

I love grain water agar, but I add a little dog food to mine. Great write up in might have to try this.
