LC mix
    #27089166 - 12/14/20 04:34 PM (3 years, 2 months ago)

After much reading I'm a bit confused with all the Lc mixes.  I've been playing with LME with karo but it always turns out brown and with a bunch of cloudy residue.  This is pre PC and after.  I've tried mixing cold, warm, and hot.  I think the LME is the culprit.. 

So, is LME necessary or can I just do karo and water?  What's the LME function? Second I notice Mason jars lids pull air and leak when screwed on.  Besides para tape around it pre pc any solution?

I do corn syrup and water. I do the same for my lid as my grain jars, one hole for poly filter and one for injection port. I wrap tinfoil over the top when its in storage. Remember the longer you PC your solution the more carmelized your sugar is going to get, so there is a fine line. I PC for 20 mins with corn syrup amd water and get a nice soft yellow. Have yet to wncounter an issue.

Multiply whatever your ml is for water by .04 to get the amount of "syrup" needed. Basically comes out to 2 tsp for every 250ml. Boil your water first, add to jar, add syrup, stir (by swirling dont use a foreign utensil unless sterile) then PC 15psi for 20 mins. Easy peezy.

I too use LME, 1%.  Your brown color is either due to a high concentration of LME or your cook times,probably a combination of both.  But yes after a pc run there is always solids that settle to the bottom, which is perfectly fine,they're sterilized sugar solids.  If you want clean,pristine lc broth then I'd recommend pressure cooking once, then cooling and filtering your broth through poly-fil or coffee filters to strain out the solids.
I have a big 2L beaker that I'll cook up 1000-1500ml of broth,then stuff some poly-fil into the end of a funnel, and filter/pour +/-250ml of broth into quart jars with a stir bar/marble..cook again for 20 mins and viola, crystal clear..ready to go lc.
