Light dry malt is about $3 a pound at HOME BREW & WINE MAKING SUPPLY STORES.

Which, also carry dry dextrose & food grade calcium carbonate :thumbup:

Meh.. the sites might not be getting the malt in surplus like brewery stores, so maybe they're paying more. Plus, like any business.. they're out to make a profit, not to save people money.

thats true to some extent, but $10 for 8oz, they are not only making profit, but lots of it. i finally found a good site, not a cheap as the stores agar mentioned, but way cheaper then the other sites ive seen. check it out everyone.
http://www.homebrewery.com/beer/beer-extracts-thb-dry.shtml

by the way, ive herd that the lightest malt is the best you can use for a malt/water mix for culturing, or making agar, or just the use of malt in general. is light really better the dark? i would asume its the other way around like wheat is always better then white in terms of nutrition, same goes for rice and rice flower.

I did a quick search and found a pound of light dry malt (make sure it's light) for 4 dollars. Are you doing a malt/dextrose mix? Dextrose should run about the same price. Get a pound of each and it will last a LONG time.

Well, no worries, I'm sure it will produce... however, you should consider dextrose. Agar recommends it (which is always a good thing), the idea being that there's a broader nutrient range. Beyond that, light malt tends to produce sediment, and cutting it with a sugar like dextrose can help keep the solution clear. The ratio is the same, 1/2Tbs of each to a cup of water.
