I have MUCH to say about this - it worked SOOOO well! 1.5% Agar, 1% Wyeast Nutrient, 7% DME - just like the sticky thread!!!! Next is innoculating with some White Labs Platinum strains beginning with the 2011 Zurich Lager Strain.... Pictures below (I hope).

What is the agar for?
is that only boiled dme and agar and nutrient in the vials?

FredTheNuke · Feb 29, 2012

Yes - still virgin until it sets. The agar gels it - MUCH better than unflavored gelatin packets do. I put the extra into baby soda bottles (waste of money non-autoclavable test tubes) and after 1 hr and 2 hrs pulled one - excellent gelatin consistency. They should innoculate like PROS!!!

What size vials did you use and where did you get them?

I use 24 ml vials, which look to be the same size, as I have the same racks.

Yes - they are the same. They work excellent and fit the racks from amazon perfectly.

Are those 1 or 2 dram vials and 16mm tube racks? Dram vials are quite a bit cheaper than culture tubes, and made of the same borosilicate glass. I was wondering how big of a rack I would need to caddy them.

Edit: Just read about the vials, but still wondering about the racks...

Edit2: Figured it out. Can't delete post. 24mm tubes, 25mm racks.
