In my (admittedly limited) experience there are two things
that you can do to help with this problem. Generally, I've
found that if you're getting lots of water on the lids, its
due to pouring the plates while the agar is still too warm.
So, try cooling the agar for a little longer before pouring.
Second, drying the plates at room temp for a couple of days
at room temperature before putting them at 4 degrees seems
to help, too.
good luck,
John
