boil turbinado lc?

planning to add 3 packets of "sugar in the raw" to a quart jar filled with 660ml of hot bottled water. then put that in a pot with a few inches of boiling water, cover, and boil for 30 min.
will this sterilize it well enough?
having trouble with my pc (see here).
had enough failures with honey.
thanks!

boil the water for at least ten minutes first. then use that water to make the LC and boil for 30 minutes

ok, good deal.
also, reading some contradicting info on when to start, and how often to use a magnetic stirrer.
is the consensus that, when using spores, wait a few days for them to germinate, then use magnetic stirrer on low, 24/7?
thanks!

lc was prepared as stated above (3 tsps sugar in the raw, 600ml water).
knocked up with 2 cc's of spore solution (pf rs) 6 days ago.
lc looks the same as it did when inoculated. clear lc with just a golden tint to it, no sediment. jar has been sitting idle at around 70 degrees.
do the temps need to be upped? should it go on the magnetic stirrer, 24/7? was waiting for germination before doing this, but it seems it should have happened by now??
thanks!

should conditions be changed? was enough sugar used?

yes, i see this also - a few clumps of spores were visible when first inoculated and looked unchanged after 6 days (couple tiny clumps of black dots). hopefully they will germinate soon - temp has been raised to around 76.

interesting...
gonna check it again in a few days - hopefully raising the temp a little helped.

well, it still looks the same. clear with a slightly golden tint. no contams visible, but neither is anything else? been almost 2 weeks now, temp around 70. on the magnetic stirrer now.
why didn't this work?

You could have saved some time if you'd researched this.
Myc will only grow in more complex sugars. Dextrose, maltose, and to some extent fructose.
You're trying to use sucrose, which is going to work piss poor if at all.

reseacrch was done. this tek has been corroborated by several (here). the only difference was that a pc wasn't used, however, with the way everything was boiled and sterilized this shouldn't have made a difference.
this isn't simply adding white sugar to water.
