It is a pre-mixed, right? Then just add the recommended amount of water.
I'm not sure i really understand what you are asking.

Probably equal amounts. So no matter how much you use it's always the same strength. Hence premixed agars being lame.

What's the directions? It should indicate.

What's the label say? It has no instructions? Like add 20g to 1000ml water?

Premade sucks because you cant troubleshoot because the nute% never changes.

Oh I see what you are saying, its only the agar that jells, so you can gather some info from just that.

49 grams to a liter of water.

Just to be clear, that isn't my pre-mix... just an example of another pre-mix that does list its recipe.

I totes agree. I've used this stuff for 5 years. have made pretty looking plates.... never questioned it.... looked elsewhere for places to improve. I've already hit my brewer supply. the pyrex is in the PC. ha. made it 2/3 LME to 1 part agar. Seems like thats close to what people do for a less nute recipe.

Why not just buy some light malt extract(or brf or dog food or beer or anything) and agar separately?

There's a reason most of us dont get the premixed shit. 1lb of lme cost me 11bux and I still have tons of it years later.

Mushboy...

I just poured some plates with my newly made LME agar (two parts LME, three parts agar... 30g to a liter) And it was much thinner than the pre-made stuff I am used to. Do you think all that sugar made it thick/syrupy? Its cooling as we type, so I'm hopeful it will gel fine.

i dunno:shrug:

are you saying the batch you just poured ISNT thick/syrupy? if your agar fails to properly solidify its because its lacking agar.

It solidified fine. Its when it was warm, it was much more watery than the previous mix. I guess it makes sense. No worries... I'm excited to see how the mycelia grows on this stuff...

I made it with less sugar to incite ropey growth.

I only ever used premixed from Amazon. Then started making my own, and worked 10x better as far as contams and pouring.
