Bottom verm layer in casing - Sterilize or not?
    #5722049 - 06/07/06 06:02 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

I have read up on several teks regarding casing. This is my first attempt at growing and I have 4 PF tek jars and 2 WBS jars in the incubator right now. I plan to grow 2 cakes, and case the rest. My question is - is it necessary to sterilize the verm layer in the pan that I plan to case from?  Some teks say wipe out the container with alcohol, line with verm (and mist it gently) apply spawn then casing mix. (Which I bought some "Ready Mix" from Wally-World)
Others say you need to bake the pan/verm layer for several mins before casing. Is this a critical step to ensure a decent casing? I know that the casing mix needs a cookin, but the verm?
Thanks :smile:

It cannot hurt to nuke it moistened for five minutes. If you store it near a bathroom or garbage, definitely either nuke it or bake it at 300 degrees for 30 minutes in the stove. Some use it straight from the bag, though, as it contains no nutrients and doesn't really attract contams. GL.
