Karo in LC Jars
    #5310758 - 02/17/06 02:57 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

This is a pretty simple question but from what Ive ready when you use karo to make the liquid culture jars, you want to use Karo Light, but when I went to buy some the other day it said with real vannilla extract where the others, such as dark, did not say that. Do I want to try to stay away from the type with vanilla in it or does it not matter.

Doesn't matter. I've actually heard of people using vanilla in lieu of karo, so you're straight.

oh ya, haha I knew FC sounded wrong but I couldnt think of what it was really called. Still kind of knew to this. Thanks for pointing that out. Good to know about the vanilla guys thanks a lot.

One other thing im curious about with these LC Jars, is once the jars are completely colonized with the mycelium I can safely open the lid of the jar without worries of contamination correct? The reason I ask is how do you fill a syringe through the inoculation holes when the jar starts to get low.

No you would be taking chances getting contams in open air.

I use a still air box for making up syringes from LC's.

Ah alright, gonna have to make myself a glovebox then. How exactly do you keep a glovebox contam free. Ive always wondered this b/c the box has to be opened in order to put your jars, syringes, etc in and out, so how do you keep it bacteria free when doing this?

You wipe the inside down with Alcohol...
I use 99% Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol cause it dries fast.

Then you put your stuff in the box.

Then spray the air above the open box with Oust...
and shut the lid and wait 15 to 20 minutes.

here is the link to the Still Air box that I made...

Ahh alright very nice, I'll have to figure something out for the arm holes b/c i dont exactly have very large forearms, but I think I can come up with something to seal it off. Thanks for the info roadkill.
