ok i like to case my cakes, but recently they have been getting the trich before they can even pin
well i guess a little more than half of them do but thats still wasted time and effort
i tried the microwave to sterilize my casing didn't work for me
the best luck i have had is to use coir without sterilizing it  at all WTF
any way thanks for your help

Cut out the trich with a steralized knife, or scoop it out with a spoon. Then spray the infected area's down with a h202 or bleach solution 1:200 ratio, then fill the hole with salt.  After that spray the dryer area's of the casing down with regular water, and give it more FAE than you usually have but be sure to keep the RH.  let me know how it is in a couple days.

I microwave my casing mixes too, how long do u put ur in for? and what kinda thing do u keep it in?(mixing bowl, micro safe container, mic safe bag. etc.) where and how do u let it cool down? do you stir it right after its outa the mic.?, lets try and find the cause and fix it.
