[QUOTE="PhilinYuma, post: 106021, member: 2509"] No. Masa can be made from a variety of cereals, corn, wheat and maize, but it has to be treated with slaked lime. Don't even try it! :D If you keep a number of nymphs, you will be making up pots of ff formula every week, at least. You want the process to be as simple as possible and the materials to be easily available. I still think that it is hard to beat Orin's formula in the sticky at the beginning of this section, though you can make the procedure even simpler -- at a price -- by buying a prepared medium like that sold by Carolina Biological. One item that might be useful and is only mentioned by Hibiscusmile, is brewer's yeast (not to be confused with active yeast that is always used). This has been used by labs that need ffs for nearly 100 years. [/QUOTE]
