i was wondering what are all of the different mixes you can use for lc's and which ones the best...i have 5 cc of innoculant left which i want to inoculate 12 quart jars of birdseed with...i went to the grocery store, the drug store, and the health food store and none had any clue what malt extract was or where to get it. and i was wondering if dextrose is needed in the mix or just malt extract...anyone with any experience with LC's, please share your procedure on making an LC.

Malt extract and dextrose can be found at a Home Brew shop. Do a search for a karo or honey water tek Karo is easily found at the supermarket! And you only need like 1 cc

96 cc water 4 cc honey/karo (both can be found at a grocery store, and ppl report that karo w/ vanila helps out. just look in the baking section) and 1 glass marble.
there are a couple ways of doing this..
1. get your jar, place the marble in and honey/karo in then add the water mix it up so all the honey/karo is disoved and PC for 10 min at 15 psi. only thing is that if you PC for to long the sugars will carmelize and turn the liquid a brozish color.
2. (this is the way i use no problems w/ contams so far) put some water on to boil, more than the 96cc, and let it boil for a couple min. while thats going put the marble and honey/karo into your jar. mesure out the boiling water and add to the jar and shake. the jar will be very hot!! use oven mits or something like that..
hope this is what you were looking for.. and hope it helps

if you use empty syringes.... they have cc measurements.
and if your going to measure the karo do it without the needle.

Or you can use Pure Vanilla extract as well. 2 tablespoons per 500ml's of H20. 3 really hauls ass. Then sterilize in a pc for 25 minutes @ 15psi or steam sterilize for 40 minutes. Easy as pie and Pure Vanilla extract is available at every grocery store on earth. Hauls ass on the colonizing...

I'm assuming when doing this I should use some kind of agitating device, too?

No. Just lightly swirl once a day to aerate the contents. 4-6 days your culture will be ready to use for inoculation....

I use vented tubes in the lids so I can simply shake the hell out of the jar when it's inoculation time. Or, I use a piece of a stainless steel hose clamp for an agitator with swirling if all of my vented lids are used up....
