LC question concerning clearness and PC (or microwave) time.

hey... I tried a malt/dextrose LC onetime and had amazing results. It was finnished colonizing from spores after 4 days. But I haven't been able to repeat this success. If I PC for just 20 minutes (not at 15 psi for 20 minutes but all together in pot for 20 minutes) the sugar has already caramelized so I haven't found the right time for Sterilizing yet. (and I don't remember exactly how I did it the first time). First question: How do you guys go about sterilizing in the microwave?
second: the solutions I make up are always very dusty. The first time I did it (which was a huge success) I don't remember how exaclty I prepared it but I know that after I had boiled it it was relativly clear and also stayed like that. Now even if I filter the solution before sterilizing (with a coffee filter) after a few days of inccubating it has become very dusty again. Is this a problem for germination to happen? Or will it even happen when the solution has got a lot of stuff floating in it? Ok I think those are all the questions I have for now. Thanks everyone

I have honey bottles that have "dust" on the bottom too. I never filtered it at all. I think it was Agar that told me that this is normal.
My Karo LC remained perfectly clear even after a solid 30 minutes at pressure. I used a Ball 1 pint jar for this one.

You can also use dry dextrose. (dry dextrose is corn sugar)

Aha... so you mean without the malt extract just pure dextrose at 4%?
BTW on my box of dextrose it just say that its pure 100% monohydrate (fruitsugar)
