I just use plain oats mixed up with hot water for my micro worms. I don't bother dechlorinating the water. It's important to add the water a bit at a time as you can easily overdo it. It's a bit difficult to explain what the texture should be, I just know when it's right. Once the mixture has cooled I sprinkle a bit of dried yeast and then add a drop of the old microworm culture. It takes a week or so to get up to speed from a tiny drop. Never had any issues with mould. The culture does smell quite vinegary after a while. I start a new culture when the existing one starts to be less productive, i.e. there are not very many worms crawling up the sides of the container. I also encourage fruit flies to lay their eggs in the same culture so there's quite often a few tiny maggots in the mix as well.
I use this for BBS. Works great. Not really for those who need lots of BBS, but if you have a couple of nano tanks then it's perfectly sufficient and very easy. I do not work for Hobby!
