It's more like Damion5050 80/20.
If the expanded is dry, then yes.  In his tek the boiling water is also to pasteurize.

you'd be better of doing proper pasturisation, which has the advantage of being able to hydrate your bulk substrate to field capacity aswell without knowing exactly ow much water to add.

you just add water till its at field capacity, load into jars and pasturise in a water bath.
