casing question
    #5524662 - 04/17/06 12:17 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

im going to attempt my first casing. I am going to do the 60/40 Vermiculite and Coco Coir Casing Tek. Its all straight foward except one thing, once i make the casing layer i have to add it to the substrate. How do i prepare the substrate? crumble it over perlite?

Many don't use a bottom casing layer if that's what you're refering to with the verm. Once the substrate is fully colonized, just apply a thin (1/2" or so) layer of sterile casing mix on top. Try to keep it fluffy.

You don't want to crumble the substrate, it should already be a solid block of mycelium when you apply the casing.

Take a plastic container and if your using cakes crumble them into small peices, at 3-4'' depth - for WBS or rye just shake it up and pour, then add a 1/4''-1/2'' 60/40 layer

ok that sounds better. i a pf jar and i am going to follow the casing 101 and 60/40 Vermiculite and Coco Coir Casing Tek. will this work. I am only going to do 1 jar in a small container. Is it worth trying to case 1 1/2 pint jar or should i just birth it and put it into the FC with my other cakes?
