I am going to try casing with my PF cakes. But was curious if I am supposed to steralize the vermiculite before puting the crumbled cakes in it? It dosnt say to in the shroomery facts. And can I steralize in the microwave?

Technically no. You don't need to. By this time ur mycellium network is strong enough to fend of contams. MAke sure you are clean however and are working in a sterile environment.
On a side note, you can bake your vermiculite for about 20 minutes in ur oven's lowest setting, and then use distilled, not spring water, to add to it. But this is not necessary.
Good luck.

if you don t use your verms before in another casing or maybe they are the big one balls then you need to crush them with hammer . yes you need to sterialize them if not and you open a fresh bag no just pour hot boil water onto them wait till it cool down and strain it ok

You dont have to turn your vermiculite into powder to use it as a casing layer. Just use it as it is and sterilzie it if you wish.
