theres several teks on this in the forums, the archives and in the cultivation section.

Id suggest finding karo as it doesn't caramelise, even in a pressure cooker.

If you go with honey, use less than the recommended 4%. As little as 1% works just aswell with the added advantage of less caramelisation of sugers.

Using less honey also prevents mycelium going into diabetic shock once introduced into a substrate thats low in suger. though i have never seen this happen myself.

Alternativly a much better choice for LC is malt dextrose.

Honey or karo does work though.

Once you have a fully colinised LC make sure to test it out on just 1 jar before inoculation a whole batch. Contamed LC's can look like healthy LC's

Yes follow the tek. You have to be carefull when sterilising honey water because go to long and the suger carimilises creating a toxic mess to mycelium. Mycelium cant digest it.

Liquid cultures dont harbour alot of contaminant spores and the water will get to sterilisation temps pretty quickly. So 15-20 minutes is more than enough.

Follow the tek, and dont cook for longer.

I use 1 tablespoon of Karo for 600 ml of water.I don't like Honey for the antifungal action.

Its antifungal untill you dilute it in water. Honey lC's work though there are better methods, like i menchioned earlier. Malt dextrose. Kar0 is better to.

But the point is, if thats what you want to use it will work fine. Just use less than teks recomend.

Use 1% honey.

there are plenty of teks explaining how to do it.
