Homemade LC: Lingering Questions

Hey all ๐. So I read an amazing tutorial on here for making LC. I couldnt post or respond on that actual post for some reason (could it being 14 yrs old have anything to do with that ๐
). I just had some simple questions lingering after reading every single comment for answers. 1) How long and what pressure do you sterilize syringes at in a PC? Do you take them apart or just toss em in? 2) What is the easiest/ best/ mostly sterile way to collect a spore print? Thanks to anyone willing to educate a newb!

If it was 14 yo thereโs a good chance of bad info. Do you have a link to it?
For LC I just put 500ml water in a qt jar with 6-8g of light malt extract. You could use another type of sugar source, and then PC with my grain jars, inoculate with a clean wedge of agar and when thebLC is ready I swirl it up and pour it into other qts. The only time I used a syringe with a SHIP I contaminated the LC. I much prefer pouring.
As to sterilizing syringes and taking prints there are a few teks on here but making an LC with spores is asking for trouble, you really want to start LC with a clean wedge or maybe the Josex* โpoke methodโ

Thats the post I was referring to. Ive been using agar for awhile and just really prefer to use syringes with my setup, so much easier. I wouldnt mind just using plates to make LC though, at least Ill be using less than inoculating Qts with wedges. Honestly I never considered just pouring to inoculate haha.. very interesting. Im curious how long you have to PC a bunch of used syringes though, its hard to get a solid answer on that. Thanks again for the advice ๐.
