Agar Protocols

MAE Recipe #1

The best recipe that has worked for me so far.

  • 10g Agar Agar
  • 7.5g Malt (note: if liquid candid, add more)
  • 500 ml boiling purified water

notes:

  • stir between sterilization to disallow sugar to solidify
  • sterilization: 20min @ 15psi

If you have electric cooker like Tesla Cooker, pressure might fluctuate so I go for aprox. 30 min total)

Optionaly wait 24-78hours to see if no contaminants are present. source: Mycology Exploration YouTube
