It would be where they have gelatin. Maybe they have it and don't even know. Asian food stores sell it for soups and stuff.

A few of our sponsors sell it. It's not that expensive to mail order it, and you get what you want without all the legwork or blank stares from retard grocers who don't even know their own inventory.

Mail order. But I have a hard time believing you can't find it locally. You live in Cali, right? There's agar in Cali.

If after that you cant find it.. than when i get a couple spare dollars ill just ship ya a couple tablespoons of potato dextrose agar, 1 tablespoon per cup of water.
Call both places, ask if they have agar, if they do ask if they sell relatively small amounts to the general public such as half a kilogram.

Agar is easy to find if you know where to look. :wink:

First off, check for stores that cater to vegans. Gelatin is made from animals and agar is not. Most vegans will use agar in place of gelatin.

Next, go to the local Chinese market. I have several where I am and every one of them caries agar. It is on the same row as the candy/deserts. They normally have Corn Sugar (Dextrose) and lots of other useful stuff.

I can get .88 oz packets of straight food grade agar.

(for making your own PDA, malt/dextrose agar, etc.)

I would be careful going to laboratory supply shops. Some areas have a long list of things that they have made illegal. For example, in my area, if your coffee pot looks like this



it is illegal. :rolleyes: When you go to a lab supply around here, they require that you let them make a copy of your ID for there records. The state requires that the prove that they have not sold to minors and they they have not sold any of the "restricted" items like my coffee pot.

The supply store i go to is huge and often times the owner isnt there and just his daughter at the front desk is so i usually have to end up nosing through the warehouse cause nothing is organized to find what i want and she usually gives me samples of things to try out. She vaguely knows my name, sure cant pronounce it right.

Thanks for the picture..

vacuum flask with a Buchner funnel, tubing, hand vacuum pump, coffee filter and a rubber stopper with a hole through it.

Im going to go make one now.. my "coffee" is usually pretty thick and it takes for ever to trickle through a filter
>_>
<_<

how does your coffee turn out with that thing?

A microbiologist fellow I was talking too indicated that food grade Agar isn't ideal as its a lot higher in salt content. Any truth to that?

I had not heard of the higher salt content being an issue. I checked the package (I have about 5 here) and they list the sodium content at 10mg on a 42g package. At that consentration I know it is not an issue!

It works great, your friend is just a LAB snob. :lol:
