So is this a soft agar like sagari, or actually a liquid?

It's a standard lc recipe with .2% agar added. It's a viscous syrup consistency
once cool from the PC. Inoc just like regular lc.

I just used the agar thickening idea while doing blenderless LI. I think a few seconds in a blender would make it work real well.

.2% of 500ml being 1g agar powder? Interesting... and what do you feel is advantageous?  I'm sure its listed on the op: quicker colonization or?

Edit: nevermind, reread, I gorcha

Its in the op, ya. Basically it clings to grains, doesnt sink, colonizes faster, ime. You can shake it hard due to stronger foothold on thicker media and pour a pretty significant amount without fucking up moisture content too much. In the op I dumped 50ml in one jar with zero sinking issues.

All same ideas I had with sagari...  I opted stiffer at 4.5g agar to 525ml, but effectively becomes a liquid upon the initial shake... I'd be interested in seeing where the balance point is precisely... really depends on whether you're looking for a pourable, or something you can take wedges from still... NICE WORK

My jars I did with natalensis are doing ok on day 7. Not as fast as I hoped but I think it was due to grain prep.

I’ve made three of these so far just eyeballing different amounts of agar but I need to weigh it cuz it seems like a few extra grains of agar makes a noticeable difference here.

So far the best way I’ve found to gauge the mixture is to shake it and then backlight it and watch how fast the bubbles move through it to the surface.

My jars are on day 7 and just about done. So far I like it! I always pour too much LC and have pooling on the bottom but this fixed that right up.

Hey Nate, what brand of agar do you use? I’m using telephone and it’s usually stiffer per gram than other brands.

Myc colonized on solid inoculant (g2g, a2g,li) tends to have a quicker leap off than normal liquid culture. I wonder how much the semi solid state of the media affects recovery time on grain.

Nice.
I like to do blender less LI using 1.5% agar in my plates but want to move to LC because it can be stored for a long time. But this looks more interesting than regular LC.
Do you know for how long SSLC can be stored?

Read this literally as I was making LC.  Had just measured out my water and sat down for a schmoke.  Spooky good timing for this to pop up. Trying now.  Thanks for the tip broski.

I put a little agar in all my LC after trying this. It's a great way to have a colonized jar in 6 days if you need.

It can be stored as long as a regular lc. Havent pushed the limits but I imagine
you could get away with some extended storage times.

I realize this is an :oldthread:, but have a question.  Has anyone used vegetable glycerine instead of agar for this?  Just for funsies i might give it a try, just seeing if its been attempted.

I used starch jelly from the mung bean which worked very well due to not really needing to worry about clarity.

I bought the stuff and had to find a use for it 😁

Never thought about using other thickening agents but I'm sure they work!

Glad people use this method. I havent done lc in a while but I may make up a few this week :rockon:

Crack showed us this link in the Discord on Monday or something and I got 20 pints of this ready to PC today.  Can't wait to use it.  Results look great, honestly.  Thanks for figuring this out, man.
