ALL my LC have failed!!
    #4432964 - 07/21/05 10:52 AM (18 years, 8 months ago)

OK All of my LC have failed And I think it's because of the Karo. I am using RK 96cc water 4cc Karo PC for 45min. @10psi. I think I might go and get some light corn syrup, what do you guys think??

I dont think changing to light corn syrup will solve your problems (did you read the bottle of Karo to read what it is?). How exactly did you fail?

The benefit is not looking for Karo without the vanilla, I havnt seen any yet.

hotnutz also does his LC's using only pure vanilla extract (2 tblspoons to 500ml) so I'm guessing vanilla extract is nutritious.

I haven't seen any Karo lately without label saying real vanilla in it either.

and several people are using pure vanilla extract to make LC's now...like you said scat.

so...

it works!~

While we are talking about LC's, how long will a sterile uninoculated LC medium stay good for ?

funny, all i can find is karo regular. No karo light, and no karo with vanilla. All my LC's have seemed to failed as well.

Yeah, PURE vanilla extract is a good food for LC's. If you look at the nutritional data of PURE vanilla extract though, there's like no nutrition at all. LOL! With the exception of Potassium, a key building block for plant life.

HC, if it's been properly sterilized it should last for quite some time. Months or years! If you're not going to use it for a while, cover the lid with foil and pop it in the fridge to keep possible bacterias from breeding.

According to Mccormicks website, their PURE vanilla extract ingredients:

VANILLA BEAN EXTRACTIVES IN WATER, ALCOHOL (35%), AND CORN SYRUP.

Beans I'm sure contain some sort of nutrition (maybe not for us, but for mycelium) and theres corn syrup.

Upon further looking I also found this:

Note: To make your own vanilla extract, place 1 whole vanilla bean, cut in half lengthwise, into 3/4 cup (180 ml) of vodka. Cover tightly and let steep for 6 months before using.

1 whole vanilla bean = 2 - 3 teaspoons of vanilla extract


And this:

The FDA requires that pure vanilla extract contain 13.35 ounces of vanilla beans per gallon of liquid and contain 35% alcohol. This is called one-fold vanilla extract and is what you find in stores. Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract is an excellent vanilla that can be found in specialty food stores and by mail order. There are two fold and three fold extracts, called essences, but these are very strong and are mainly used by professionals. Do not add vanilla extract to hot liquids as the alcohol evaporates, along with some of the vanilla flavor.

When buying vanilla extract make sure it is labeled "pure". The imitation vanilla extracts are made with synthetic vanilla (from glycoside found in the sapwood of certain conifers or from coal extracts) and leave a bitter aftertaste. Products labeled Vanilla Flavoring are a combination of pure vanilla extract and imitation vanilla extract.

While its just sitting there? I dont think so...I've used LC mediums after many months...3-6 or something I dunno..they work and still lasted months beyond that with growth in them in the fridge. I guess anyway, I havnt tried any of them to recently.

It was a 1/2 pint, one of the first 12 I made. I used way to much Karo. I think like a tablespoon for 6 ounces water. Well, I put 1 CC multispore in each of the 12 to see what would happen. It was a dark yellowish color. I had 12 like this. 6 worked, 6 did nothing. I guess 2 sweet for them to germinate and grow ?

Anyhow, I kept them around just to watch and see what happens. Over the last few months, nothing has grown and the color has lightened a bit.

Well. I have bunches of LC now, gallons actually, and had some left in a syringe the other day. Decided what the heck and shot a CC in two of these jars. 10 days later they are ready to go. Just wondering why they worked now and not 4 months ago ?

Coda I think you know what I'm talking about Lil. 3 so far with nothing!! So I went and I got light Karo I think that MIGHT help I'll try it. So PC for 45min @10psi is to long? How long should it go? I also failed with the microwave, by fail I mean I don't see how Karo is so easy I can't get any thing white!

:rolleyes: You said you were using 4cc of water to 96cc water. How would you measure 4cc...well how do you measure 4cc's of spores?

15-20 minutes is plenty of time to sterilize a liquid medium, any more and you carmilize the sugars.
