The small $2 Wal-Mart brown rice bags make a couple dozen BRF cakes.

Given you meant "Half" pint jars, let me see what I can help out with.
I bought my 24oz bag of Bob's Red Mill at Sprouts, it was about four bucks. Now, I'm gonna be measuring off cups of this, and for each half pint jar, going off of the classic PF tek, is gonna give you somewhere near, uuh.. With .125 cups in one ounce, you get eight half pint jars per ounce. 8 * 24 is 192, so if you bought a 2lb bag, you're solid through your first 192 jars. That's if you measure your powder just right, so give yourself at least 150 jars of lee-way, and measure carefully, jefe.
-------------------- Hold on tight, to your dream! Unless you have shoeboxes, then hold onto those. Head down to the store, buy some butterfly clips, dub tub your jars, forget about them, move to Kensington, buy a boat you only ever keep in your driveway, become a Pinterest administrator, sell dollar store mugs with rhinestones hot glued all over them.

I use the 2:1:1 verm:brf:H20...standard recipe. And 1 cup of brf is good for five 1/2 pint jars...so unless there are over 38 cups of brf in a 2lb bag, its not going to make 192 jars. Also...24 oz is not 2 lbs. A pound is 16 ounces.
-------------------- Happy growing!

There are in fact five cups of rice in a two-pound bag, and since there's a little bit of shrink when you grind it I like to make my cakes a bit on the lean side and stretch them with vermiculite to a volume of 20 cups, which will fill two dozen half-pints.

Have you tried that same thing, but without? Does it do anything for your yield, or is it just personal preference?

TBH I only do cakes when I have a friend who's begging me to teach them how to do cakes, so it's not that often. There are a two main reasons I do it the way I do it, and neither of them is performance based:
1. Jars come in dozens and my friends, who always insist we "start small", also insist we "go big" and do two dozen. 2. I hate the shit out of cakes, and I want to get it done with a minimal amount of work and expense because it won't be long before my friends want to do bulk.
Some people have said that they got better yields from running their cakes somewhat leaner, but I can't confirm this and I really, really don't care to.
