Dunk and Roll / Continuing Shroom Grow after Cakes

I'm going to be dunking and rolling 8 pf cakes in a couple of days, i don't have a pan that's big enough to fit all eight cakes in a at once, i was going to ask whether i have to dunk them in sterilized water but i'm pretty sure i don't, just cold tap water right? well i was just wondering how come that its ok to do that, i'm sure tap water hosts contams? is it just that when fully colonised the cakes are able to fight off contams?
Also, i have enjoyed doing the pf tek thus far and seem to be having real success up to now everything is looking good, when i get paid next weekend i'm going to buy another spore syringe and grow a different "strain" to b+ (what i have now) and im also planning on making my own spore syringes from my grow, however whats the best method to carry on the same grow from the cakes i will be birthing in a couple of days? I don't get how people have cubensis shrooms growing in terrariums that seem to have a substrate spread out along the bottom of the chamber (no cakes), can this be done with verm and brown rice substrate?
I hope you don't mind my questions, thanks.

Tap water.
Continue your grow by taking prints and also get ready for cloning. (Best with a PC, not impossible without one.)
Last question is about "spawning to bulk substrate", a vast topic. Starts with a pressure cooker, so start looking around for one.

ok, i'll start investigating spawning to bulk substrate then. so whats the difference between cloning and making a spore syringe and inoculating more cakes from the spores from my first grow? I'll research anyway, thanks.

Spores are random, they merge like eggs and sperm do. Cloning involves taking live mycelium and propagating it. Like cutting a leaf off a plant and rooting it in water, but more technical.

with a spore syringe you will have many different strains growing.
as to potency, size and shape of the shrooms youll never know what you get.
by cloning a single fruit, you can manifold special properties like potency, size and shape etc. in general, the results are more predictable.
