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.
