  You're getting hot break in your agar? I got hot break when I made the wort that I used with
  the agar to make the slants but none that I can see when I sterilized the slants themselves.I
  got that cond...

  Or maybe 10 degrees plato? So, 1.040? That would be a rather high FG indeed!

  I think my agar is pretty well distributed. I don't have a different color band at the bottom.
  I do however, have a pocket of yeast nutrient. I used Wyeast nutrient and it doesn't seem to

  Bullgator,I am in the exact same situation. I used the same recipe from the same thread with

  recipe, ferments down to 1.005ish. I have since switched to s-04 and usually end up at about
  1.008.I am sur...

  I sacrificed a plate to test the agar and it is plenty "juicy". Has a wet texture to it. I
  guess i'll just give it more time.

  My recipe for slant media is:1.5% agar powder7% DME1% Wyeast yeast nutrientThat is by weight so
  if you have, say, 500mL of water you will add 7.5 grams of agar and 35 grams of DME along with
  5 grams o...

  There are enough 'Help with Beersmith' threads on these forums to make me NOT want to try that
  platform. Not only would it cost me a recurring fee to port all of my recipes over to their
  cloud server,...
