I have so much fucking BRF. I guess I figured I would be doing PF tek forever or something.

I whipped up a batch of 4% BRF agar last night and dropped some spores on 2 plates today.
I'm using them as my back up plates for the LAGM community grow, I will keep you posted as to how they turn out.

Id like to see the results on that. Will you add it to this thread or create a new one?

Is there any advantage to using BRF aside from being cheap and widely available? I'm sure you guys are just using up old stock, as ComebackKid mentioned. I've also seen the paste mentioned as an alternative to spore germination, but I'm still reading.
It would certainly bring the cost per plate down over something like Malt Extract Agar.

Malt extract is cheaper than brf unless you make your own brf from brown rice. Either way dirt cheap.
Brf agar works well. I have my 2017 thread has lots of pictures of pinning plates that were the brf ones

Really? The best price I've found is like $4.00 a pound on Malt extract. That's online though, the local brewery store has it for a premium of like $10.00 a pound.
I'll have to check out your threads again!

Pound of malt extract only makes 5 gallons of agar

I guess the agar or the plates are the most expensive part!

Plates are 10-20cents a piece, the agar agar on them is around 4 cents a plate (My agar agar costs €4 for 50 grams, 10 grams makes 20 plates), the malt extract is around 0,45 cents a plate (Malt extract is €9 per kg, 10 grams make 20 plates). Saran wrap is 0,001 cents a plate aka neglectable.
That makes a plate full of agar around 15-25 cents. I wouldn't go above 30 cents for an agar plate.

I haven't been able to find a vendor for plates at that price (Including S&H?) Currently I'm paying arounds 60 cents per plate, and I'm estimating my agar cost to be somewhere between .02-.06 cents per plate depending on concentration.
Granted I'm using a popular online retailer with quick shipping, and I'm not buying in a great quantity. That could be why mine are so much more expensive.
I think it would still be cheaper for me to cut my teeth on agar than it would to trust in MS inoculations and waste quarts of spawn, so I'm going to push through.
At any rate, I think I'll try and run some BRF plates beside my MEA this time.

Sorry to butt in but I have a question. Will there be any advantage to just extract nutes from brf instead of pouring the brf itself into the agar solution?
