Ive got a brick of Bed A Beast. How much will that expand to, after pasteurization, and drying? I have 4 qts of sub, and am spawning to coffee grounds and coir....do i have enough coir?

You must have a HUGE fucking brick. 90 liters equals roughly 95 quarts! That i find to be a little excessive.
The bed-a-beast company advertises that it will expand to 31 cups which equals 7.75 quarts.

also...4 qts of spawn. approximately 9 qts of coir (from one brick). To do the 1:4 ratio, i would need to use 7 qts of coffee grounds?
