It should be bringing you back to the main casing page. Casing 101 does not provide you with a casing recipe, just instructions on casing PF cakes. You still need to choose a casing recipe.

Well if you use coir you might want to add some spent coffe grounds. The ratio that all the vets go by is 80/20 coir and spent coffe grounds for the sub.

Its all I use and I'm usually pretty happy with my results You don't need to do anything except hydrate and pasteurize is....O and next time your at the pet store grabbing some wbs or coir grab a bottle of "Bullseye" aquarium Ph buffer and add some to the water you use to hydrate it to make it contamination resistant,I have only been able to find the 7.0 bullseye even though 7.5 is more ideal but it always still works fine

You CAN I suppose,your not supposed to,your supposed to pasteurize a casing not sterilize it,some people do sterilize casing mix(Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Hippie Chick does)I have always just pasteurized it with great results so I haven't seen the need to change any thing up yet

all the other casing tecs require things i cant get in my area you my friend just made my job a whole lot easier. I like to PC my 50/50 casing, but i guess i may as well try pasturizing. im told its what you're supposed to do anyways.
