Yeah.  Soak your grain...don't boil it.  Drain it off fairly well, toss in a few cups or two of vermiculite, mix that up in a bowl well so it's evenly distributed.  Then load your bags up and PC.  I was having the same problem, especially as I was inoculating with LC.  Worked okay for me.  Only problem was if I didn't mix the verm into the grain enough and the verm would collect in the corners of the bag and wouldn't colonize (obviously).  So just spawn the colonized chunk and pull off the vermy fringe bits. :thumbup:

Sure.  Just balances out the moisture--the myc grows right over it, better than it does the verm in a casing layer mix.  :wink:

I know.  I did use the gypsum.  :wink:  I just could never get the fucking grain dry enough for the gypsum to inhibit clumping.  So I went to verm and now I AM NOT A MOIST VAGINA.  :cheer:
