A plea for help!

Hello my old friends!
It has been far too long since I have been here. This is my first post in months, because my mushrooms seem to have gotten a little too popular around here. The sad thing is, without them there simply are none to be found! 
So, I have decided to start up again and help everyone out. I will be reconstructing my chamber the way it was in my gallery. Does that look okay or are those methods outdated? It was controlled by 2 humidifiers, one ultrasonic and one cool-mist fan operated one. The ultrasonic was controlled by a digital timer, but I don't remember the frequency it came on at, was it every 15 minutes? Please help!
Also, the strain I grew was B+, but my provider is currently out of those. So, which strain would you guys recommend? I was actively involved in the free spore print ring a while back as well, and if anyone has a print or two they would like to donate I promise it will not go ignored!
My old method was incubate in quart jars sterilized in a pressure cooker. Could someone point me to the recipe for the substrate? I believe I used brown rice with vermiculite. After canning them, I injected via 4 holes in the lids, then I put in the filter attachments. After cultivating in a temperature controlled area (what temperature?), I think about 2 weeks, I opened them inside a sterile environment and broke up into aluminum trays and layered with (I forget the materials).
I think I have this all right, are my methods outdated?
It is great to be back, I love everyone here and I hope to become even more-so involved than I used to be and happy shrooming to everyone!

Sorry, I was not trying to be lazy, only to have some conversation with what was my favorite community, and to maybe compare other growers methods.

Here is the tek you're talking about:

Nothing is outdated if it works. For an easier growing setup, I would personally recommend the Double Tub. It really doesn't get any easier and you don't need humidifiers or anything like that for complete automation.
