Soaking Vermiculite in Beer Question
    #16817426 - 09/09/12 01:41 PM (12 years, 4 months ago)

Hello All,

Does anyone know if it would be possible to use alcoholic beer (instead of non-alcoholic beer) when soaking/boiling vermiculite?
This of course is when prepping the verm to be used in a bulk coir substrate.

I am just curious if there was a way to maybe boil the alcohol out of the beer or some process that would allow the use of a regular beer alternative instead of the non-alc.

Thanks in advance!

there is no prepping the verm...just mix it with the coir and do the bucket tek or mix with coir, get it to feild capacity and properly pasturize...noneed to prep verm.

Thanks but I don't require general growing advice. 

Can anyone answer my specific question?

im not an expert on all things beer but i know some growers have tried using spend beer ground as a somewhat substrate and it has yielded less than favorable results. so based on that assumption id assume actual beer wouldn't have much beneficial use at all.
