4 smaller casing or 1 large?
    #2102513 - 11/13/03 04:40 PM (20 years, 4 months ago)

Which is better in aspects, to use a couple small cases or one large casing? I have 12 1/2 pint creepers to case and was wondering which would be better in term of yeild and what not. Thanks.

Do whatever you want but in my opinion, make sure you have at least 2 inches of substrate per casing if you don't want to end up with small skinny fruits.

Also, don't forget that making one huge casing may produce a lot but if it contams, you may lose everything. Play safe and make a couple...

Last thing, maybe you can get a lot of fruits from big thick casings but remember that after 2nd and 3rd flush, contamination risk gets a lot higher so you will most likely have to dump a big casing not yet spent.

12 half pints eh? Go for at least 3 !

3 Casing of about what size? I am probably going to use the aluminum baking pans that everyone uses.

Divide them up into 3 or 4 containers...

There are tupperware containers that are about 5x5 square and about 3.5 inches deep. These are perfect for three 1/2 pints to go in, giving you 2 inches of substrate. They can be found in almost every large grocery store.

Otherwise there are round containers, about 6 inches wide, that will hold 4 cakes. I have seen them work beautifully! (Just don't forget to wrap the outside with tinfoil.

Cool, thanks. Is clear a bad choice for a casing container? Or is that why you are saying to coat with tinfoil if a clear container is used?

Cool, thanks for the help guys. I already have verm and coir, so I am doing the 60/40 tek. How do I know how much oyster shell chips to add?

yes! foil and duct tape on the outside.

...casing each cake would be REALLY time consuming! And wouldn't really produce much if any more.
