good water ratio for brf cakes using COARSE vermiculite ?
    #15678135 - 01/17/12 01:34 PM (12 years, 5 months ago)

I know coarse verm isnt the best for cakes but its the only verm i could find where i live :frown: my last batch of cakes got a little water logged using the standard 2:1:1 verm/brf/water, did not realize that formula was for fine vermiculite until i did a little more reading. so my question is how much less water should i be using ? or should i try and make my coarse verm into fine verm using a blender or something lol

I put the verm in a bowl and then add water until just a little dribbles out of the bottom after a good stir.

Then I add my brf and coat the outside of the verm.

Works awesome every time.

You can just through you vermic in the blender.

the water level is fairly important,but u shouldnt have to deviate to much from the ratio,maybe try to add half the water at first,an add the other half as needed,i wish i would've found the coarse shit,id crush to a happy medium:grin:

The foil is enough to keep water from entering, as long as they are elevated a little off the bottom of the pot/pc. I've only used the coarse verm when I did cakes and used a coffee grinder to break it up some. You should have no problems with it then.

Has anyone ever had their vermiculite marked the wrong grade?

The reason why I ask, is because I just got a 40lb bag of thermarock vermiculite marked medium, but it's the finest vermiculite I have ever gotten.

Im not sure I would want fine, as this medium grade vermiculite is very small and and almost dust like. I definitely wouldn't want to put this in a coffee grinder.

Does anyone have any experience with the brand thermarock? I got mine at home depot.
