You'll still need to know how to run your pressure cooker properly with petri dishes. I was concerned by your question that you would run the cooker with too little water. According to what I've read, running a pressure cooker dry weakens it and is possibly dangerous. I learned a lot from watching Bod's Easy AF how to use your pressure cooker video, like how to keep my jars from getting mineral buildup and how to run the pressure cooker with less noise. Even if you know how to run the pressure cooker, you still might learn stuff you didn't know. :thumbup:

Love this clear, simple recipe and the video that goes with it. Thanks! The flakes are so much nicer to work with than LME.

another piece of advice, remove the lid from your still air box. just wipe off your surface there and work on that. its a lot easier to work on a stable surface than a plastic lid.

Munch, you literally read my mind!
I was wondering if I could remove the lid from the SAB,  the plates were sliding all over the place

Thank you!!! Really appreciate it  :bow2:

Munch, is just saw your video on working with a SAB.  I think you spray soapy water or ISO 70, then cover the SAB. 

I just saw this, of a guy putting all his stuff inside the SAB and then spraying with disinfectant ... does this work well?

its soapy water. never spray isopropyl alcohol in a sab. it effectively creates a bomb.

and thats a big fuck no to spraying disinfectant in your sab. still air and a peaceful soul is all you need to do sterile agar work.

Hey Munch,

I've also been trying to step up to the world of agar and have watched the videos and built my now 3rd SAB after not taking the time to properly choose one that is the right size THE FIRST TIME.

Since I forgot to make spore prints the last few grows I did I had to buy another couple spore syringes. Considering that this wont be a tiger drop, would it be wise to drop the powdered agar quantity just a tad?

I also picked up an inoculation loop set. Is this even worth the hassle this round since I'm coming from a syringe?

I'm super stoked to try this. I'll be holed up the house this weekend for the hurricane and can't think of a better time to bite the agar bullet. I have finally overcame the first couple grow jitters and want to make sure I do everything the right way this time.

no need to change the recipe. it works great for spores and transfers alike.

no need for a loop with the syringe. just heat up the dispensing needle to red hot, then make a little slice thru the middle of the agar to make a little valley and drop your solution into that.

yes you need to pressure cook them for 30 minutes. after that, they are good to use for quite some time.
