Deflation of cakes?
    #14481231 - 05/19/11 09:37 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Hmm, they've been in the fruiting chamber for about 9 days now pinless. I'm not too worried about that, but are they supposed to be "deflating"? The PF cakes seem to be losing shape. Not all, just some.

Pics?
Did you dunk and roll them after you birthed?
Let them sit for a week after full colonization?

I dunk and rolled them after I left them submerged in water for 22 hours.
I let them consolidate for a week after full colonization.

I'll get a pic.

Do they feel dry? They could shrink as they lose water

No they aren't getting smaller. It looked like a combination of melting/deflating. The bases are actually fatter while the tops are thinner.

It's the cake in the middle that is the biggest offender. Sorry for the meh pic.

I can honestly say, I've never seen this happen.  All the cakes I've ever done have had more than enough structural support to hold themselves up.
