    A coffee grinder would work wonders. Does it need to go in an oven? Wouldn't a microwave be much faster and energy efficient if the point is to remove moisture? Does it need to be ground up so finely first because if not, draining the liquid off will be much quicker and grinding can be done afterwards.

    Gee, when I made my first batch, I didn't think of wetting it first before breaking it up, I did use a strainer to eliminate the dust though. Since I already bought the Aqua Tech carbon stuff first, I'm gonna use both separating the layers with play sand and see how it goes....?
