Agar not dissolved?
    #26416228 - 01/04/20 03:50 PM (4 years, 25 days ago)

I'm new to mushroom cultivation and I followed enlightenment agar tek from this post. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/23890579

I followed the directions but cut the quantity in half. So I did 250ml of water, 5g of malt extract and 5g of agar. Mixed everything in hot water to dissolve it and at the time I placed the bottle in the pressure cooker it looked completely dissolved. However, when I took it out it looked like this.



What did I do wrong and can I still poor this in the petri dishes?

I suspect you carmelized your sugars. How long did you cook that?

15 PSI for 25min. It was my first time using a pressure cooker. I didn't start the timer until it reached 15 PSI.

I ended up shaking it real good before pouring to break it up. It came out pretty bubbly.

Hmmm...try it. I suspect it will still work.

When I do my agar runs I strain it through some cheese cloth. A lot of bubbly goop gets caught up. Never havent done so couldnt tell ya if thata the issue
If its repeated give that a shot
Best of luck
