I use the entirely un scientific method of wetting the media and then squeezing it until it just feels damp. You should be able to squeeze a drop of water from a pinch of it when your done ..but only with effort.

You do not want the media so wet it drowns the embryo or causes the shell to swell and burst.damp not wet...
