Coir/Straw/Coffee/Gypsum

Hey ya'll!!!
My cat is wondering how to go about pasteurizing a mixture like this.
Could he pasteurize the coir/coffee/gypsum in jars as per Frank's tek, and then pasteurize some straw as per RR's tek, then mix them together? I really dont see why not, unless someone knows something about moisture content that i've never heard of.
I've found some stuff about quantities of gypsum, but i'm guessing for about 1-2 quarts of substrate he'll use about a teaspoon or less of gypsum? What he has are pellets, should he put them in the blender and grind it to a powder? What are the downsides to using too much gypsum?
My cat has no verm, so i'm assuming he'd need to increase hid coir if he wants more than one flush. So, maybe something like 60/35/4/1 for coir/straw/coffee/gypsum? Thats not meant to be accurate, but just general sense of the ratios.
Thanks, i'll relay all the feedback to my cat as soon as i read it!

If your pussy is growing mushrooms you should probably see a doctor. ... this isn't healthy.

I would just throw it all together make sure its all to field capacity and then pasteurize using what ever technique you choose.

When pelletized gypsum it's easier to dissolve it in the water you're going to soak your sub in. Otherwise you get clumps. As far as straw goes, but if properly pasteurized I don't see why not. At least that's what my alligator told me.

LOL does anyone remember way back in the day when people would post asking if they could get high from house hold products they'd get a bunch of responses from people telling them to huff CP?

There is no humor involved. Just paranoid individuals who don't understand the internet. You really think saying your "cat" is growing mushrooms is going to protect you from any sort of possible investigations? Come on.

Lately ive been mixing all my sub together coir\verm\straw, Let soak for a couple hours. And will mix the sub in the water ever so often. Then I squeeze to field capacity, put sub in another container, then I sprinkle the gypsum on and mix well. Then I put sub in jars, ready for pasteurization.
