Karo is corn syrup yes, sorry I didn't specify in the video. Not sure it works better, it's really just what you prefer to use honestly. I've tried honey and preferred corn syrup for the clarity of the finished product.
It doesn't matter what sugar source as long as you stick to _that_ source throughout. If you plan to work with agar, use the same sugar you'll be utilizing for your LC, or if you make drippy corn. Source does not matter, the mushrooms dgaf.
@@SirDydimus86 As I mentioned, it really just depends on what you prefer to use or what's available. In my experience, some strains respond better to different sugars. Different LC broths and different agar recipes.
Honestly all you need is 2% corn syrup. Make the mycelium work, the strongest will survive and your LC will be nice and clear to see contam. Whatever works for you man but you'll find alot of that stuff really isn't needed. A mycocologist taught me that and ive never looked back.
@@ninailsgimpinstant pot will work perfectly fine. Just adjust your time. You can use steam baths as well, if you have the time to dedicate to sitting in front of your stove.

Karo is corn syrup? Wouldnt honey work better

The corn syrup seemed to work a little better in my experience as well as to why I started using it. But, honey will work.

This recipe I guarantee you works great the peptone really helps.
@@Myco_BlaineO_ do you think an insta-pot is sufficient to pasteurize LC? I think they only get to 12psi, which is why I'm asking.

The scale has a cool name.
Mush love❤
Had to google karo as karo means nothing to me. Instead of a brand name, why don't you say what it is, corn syrup.
Should have specified, that's my fault.
