First time growing from scratch, Caseing question?

Just finished Pressure cooking my WBS Tek, seems to be good, just need to let cool and add spores. I want to case them when they finish and i was wondering what is the best caseing layer? And how should i sterlise it? In jars? Or in the microwave. I have about 7 pint jars left and Vermiculite and Perlite (about a good pound of each) and i work at a wal-mart so if i really needed any thing else i could get it there but not trying to spend too much more. I heard some thing about i think it was jiffy pop? for caseing found at wal-mart. I will post pictures once the jars start growing. Thanks in advance

Get a bag of peat moss, and hydrated lime or oyster shell powder, NOT DOLOMITE LIME!!!

Some people use whats called jiffy mix. It's basically premixed soil that ready out of the bag to case with. These are probably the two most widely used casing recipes. http://www.shroomery.org/index.php/par/7977 http://www.shroomery.org/index.php/par/23536
I'd also like to piont out our lovely forum search engine. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/search.php?Cat=0 and the related threads at the bottom of the page.

i like coco coir and vermiculite and 5% crushed oyster shells. i beleive you are talking about jiffy mix. jiffy mix is great but one might need to adjust the ph slightly so i'm not sure if that is for you. 100% vermiculite is a good casing material IMO.

Oh and wal mart only sells the jiffy mix with pearlite in it, you dont want that, if you can find jiffy mix with vermiculite in it thats perfect, it comes out of the bag ready to use, its peat moss, verm, and lime. And you can just sterilize casing mix in microwave, nuke for 3 mins, let it sit 3 mins, nuke 3 mins more, then let it cool down.

I guess the question i have if i use coir/vermiculite 50/50 and i put it in a jar and pressure cook it for 15 psi for about an hour. I would wet them both enough so they are wet but not dripping. Would that sound good for a top layer?
