I'm done with cakes!  I might try some rye jars with...
45% coir 30% worm castings 10% coffee 10% gypsum 5% lime.
Should I pasteurize the coir, worm castings and coffee together in the oven then add the rest?
Cased with 50/50 coir/verm. What do you guys think?

Break down the substrate mix into 3 to 5 pound bags, (after you have already added the water and brought it up to field capacity). Then pasteurize in hot water, (not the oven). Water conducts heat much much better than air does. You will also maintain the moisture content of the substrate. Then oven will undoubtedly mess with the moisture content. If you're thinking of adding the water after the "oven tek" then you defeat the purpose of pasteurization all together. Other than that.... congratulations on taking the big step up from cakes! Good Luck!

Is 5% lime too much. I have always heard that you should use a minuscule amount, as it can burn the mycelium.

Get a coleman portable cooler, heat water & lime to 165 degrees pour into cooler over coir bricks and all other ingredients. Wait 60min, open stir ingredients, close lid, let cool overnight.

Cause they're a little harder to FUBAR what with the verm layer and all. I personally wouldn't want to try and explain sterile technique to someone who can't even get a jar through all the stages.
