First time LC problem...
    #5928300 - 08/03/06 11:13 AM (17 years, 5 months ago)

I mixed about 10 ml (15g) of honey with 400 ml distilled water, in a 700 ml jar with a lid with a 6mm hole stuffed with polyfill, and a 1mm hole covered with silicon (for spore inoculation). I covered the lid together with the jar, with 4 sheets of alu foil and pressure cooked it for 20 minutes...

The problem is that some water escaped through the polyfill, so instead of 400 ml solution, now i have 250 ml in there.
Is the solution now more concentrated considering that the same ammount of sugar (15g) is now in less water than before (400ml -> 250ml) ? Should i add some sterile water in there or what?

i would add more sterile water in there just so you can tell if there are any contams in there...if its dark yellow all the time you wont be able to tell

Why the polyfil? Just use a single, silicone sealed hole next time. If your polyfil hasn't wicked in any contams, do not add more water and just spawn to new jars or as a tester first on cakes, as it likely contamed.

actually if none of the sugars boiled away you now have exactly or very close to the optimal amount of sugar to water ratio for an LC. (4% seems to be the generally accepted optimal amount form what I have read)it wouldn't hurt to add a little sterile water though but do not dilute it too much 2% sugar content is about the lowest you wanna go for LC
