Really don't feel like going through all 20 odd pages, but my suggestion to anyone is to skip brf/verm and go straight to grain. Grains cheap, you can buy it in bulk and its much more nutritious.
Wheat berries and rye berries are what I've played with before. Take a quart jar, put 1 cup of water, 1 cup of grain. Let those molds germinate for 24 hours so a pressure cooker can deal with them. After that, put them in a pan, rinse until the water comes out somewhat clean. Top off with water, boil until just under 20% of the grains have cracked. when you pinch one between your fingers, it should be closer to translucent than white. From there, toss it into quart jars, toss on your lid with filter/tyvek and foil lid. Pc for 90 min at 15 psi. After its cooled, knock up and incubate.
This is great for cubes and some of the sclerotia varieties.
As far as casing, for first timers I don't reccomend using coir or poop. Both of these things are nutritious and can invite contams. Straight vermiculite at a 1:1 will work fine, and you can get away with it with the right grain.
For potency, Penis Envy, Albino Penis Envy and Great White Monster are the best cubes.
