ACE has


Looks like they have the pellets. They don't know if they are what I want. Handy Ace in Tucker would be the place to check if they don't have it.

They don't, but they gave the numbers for the two hardwood pellets they have:

425-2854
419-5319

Handy Ace is 770-939-6842

 

Getting Closer to Making Agar Medium


Hopefully after tomorrow all I will need is the malt powder. It would be cool if it arrived by this weekend.

12 gms agar - Hope to get this tomorrow Mother Nature Tomorrow

12 gms light malt powder - Ordered from Baker's Supply

0.5 gm processed nitrogen source (rotate between gelatin, soy milk powder, milk powder, low
sodium soy sauce, etc.) - Plan to use milk powder

5-7 wood fuel pellets (0.15 oz, or 4.25 grams) - Hope to get from Ace Hardware off Even Mill Road

small chip (0.1 gm? enough to turn the solution slightly yellow) from synthetic B vitamin complex pill - Get from CVS by my house

1 liter clear water, free of particulates - this I have (should I try to buy some spring water instead?)

Also need a scale that is acurate down to 1/2 a gram. Bought from Target yesterday.

 

Bought a Scale from Target

Bought this type of scale from Target. It was $15.89 including tax. The one shown it the link is for 11 lbs and mine is for 6 lbs.

 

Another Source for Dry Light Malt Extract


The Shaman Shop is another source for dry malt extract. This is expecially for making the agar formula. It is $14.70 for 8 ounces. What Highly Hydroscopic?

Kitchen Scales



Looks like Target might be a good source for a kitchen scale.

I believe that I am getting close to be able to produce the agar medium.

12 gms light malt powder - this I have to order (could check with brewing places in Atlanta area)

0.5 gm processed nitrogen source (rotate between gelatin, soy milk powder, milk powder, low
sodium soy sauce, etc.) - this I have

5-7 wood fuel pellets (0.15 oz, or 4.25 grams) - can I get this from that hardware store?

small chip (0.1 gm? enough to turn the solution slightly yellow) from synthetic B vitamin complex pill - should be able to get from any drug store

1 liter clear water, free of particulates - this I have

Also need a scale that is acurate down to 1/2 a gram.
