Agar did not harden
    #28390306 - 07/09/23 12:16 PM (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ok so this is a first ..I made some agar dishes for future transfers and to let them sit for a couple days to make sure no tams took hold..
But they did not harden
  I'm fairly sure I measure both ingredients properly..since I had bought pre mixed malt extract agar . How ever I used a microwave this time before PC.  And only for two minutes
You think that's the problem?
  And is there a way of fixing this ?
I'll be ready for some transfers and need to have those ready soon
  I finally got some good stuff growing

My first batch of Agar came out liquid. I just used slightly less water next time and it worked great.

I jst did this a week ago decided to nuke first 1200w for 1:15  agar was more jelly like b4 pc but settled normal after so I doubt that's your problem. Used agar bar 2.1g to 120ml water had no prob, don't think there's a fix for poured plates.

I was thinking about pouring them into my glass jar I used for agar heating it up again and adding more agar before PC
  But I'll be so pissed if they go bad
Especially because they will be for transfers
I ordered pre mixed malt agar and it just came in
But while I was waiting I finally bought a scale and so that I would not be guessing at the grams
  So yep I you helped me make up my mind
  I'm going to start with the trash can tec.
And then start over
