The particle / boilie recipes in that page are really just to demonstrate how to break the hundreds of online recipes and mixes down into attractants, bulk and binders. I'm hoping to encourage readers to go search out a few recipes and understand the components a bit better. Most of the particle mixes can be converted into boilies by adding eggs and flour to bind then.

I usually make a big batch of cornmeal, flour and egg boilies and flavour them in small batches using the freeze and thaw trick to create smaller batches of different types. I'm thinking of using an old veggie steamer on the next batch, as it may not leech out as much of the flavour as boiling.

I picked up 100 PVA bags online at New World Carp, hopefully they'll be waiting for me at home when I get back next week.
