I use 4g to 100ml and usually get quite a thick mix dunno whats going on there. I guess add more to get a less runny mix

15g agar/liter should not become watery jelly. Try to use 45g of the premix per liter. Agar does not expire IME. I use agar that I bought 5 years ago without problems.

reduce your cook time to 20 mins and if you don't want to throw the content of your mix off add more percentage agar. just agar. or just brew your own beer wort and use potatoe water for your brew water brew it like you want 6-7% abv

ncjohn said: Thank you for all you guys' advice!!! I decided to repour a batch today, following all 3 suggestions here. I upped to 45g premix per liter ratio, boiled in pot for a minute before jarring/PCing, and I lowered the cook time to 15psi for 15 min. Resulted in much nicer, firm jello-like (slightly firmer than jello I'd say) substance! I assume that's about how it should be?
Thanks again!
