Need some quick advise. Substrate too wet from bucket tek

So I am using CVG for my substrate. I used the bucket tek and while getting ready to make my monotub I squeeze tested my substrate and it is too wet. What is my best option to get rid of the excess water? I dont want to have to squeeze the excess water out if possible. Can I add vermiculite straight from the bag or does it need to be pasteurized? If I do have to squeeze the water out will I need to pasteurize it over again? Thanks for your help.

you could dump it in an old pillow case and squeeze it out.
