It doesn't really matter its all preference really, fine makes a bigger mess thats about it, you might as well just order

how could you go wrong with medium?
I think the fine is too compact in BRF jars which can slow the myc growth down. But if you dunk and roll your cakes a finer layer can be used, but I never did that. Just used medium for everything that called for verm and it went great.

Seems kinda pricey at $7.59 for an 8 quart bag. I got a 4 cubic foot bag (huge trash bag lookin' thing) for $25 at a local garden center.
I think those 8 quart bags are only $4 or $5 at the same garden center, Wal-Mart too if you can find it there.
