What are your favorite flasking formulations?

[SapphireChild]

Hi folks

I'd like to take a little survey of those of you who flask. What media formulations do you use for mother flask then replate for paphs? Do you customize media for different groups?

thx

Welcome from Greece!!!! I haven't tried anything in flasking yet!!! It scares me a bit!!! And too much waiting... But I guess if done properly it is worth it...

Welcome to Slippertalk..! Regarding your question, I haven't even tried de-flasking yet, what more flasking...

Welcome SapphireChild. I don't do flasking but lots of folks here do.

John, what concentration of banana and/or potato do you use? Potato is a new additive to me. Does it offer anything besides lots of starch?

Also, thanks everybody!

25 g banana = scant 3 tablespoons
75 g potato (cooked) = 6 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon
I put the two in a blender with part of the distilled water and blend well.
This is for enough to make 1 liter medium.

I've been using the Famous Robert Ernst media (RE) for ages although I've slighty modified the composition.
Its great for paphs and even other generas. Its also pretty easy to prepare
