why did i fruit cakes for so mamy years?!
    #19216755 - 12/02/13 11:12 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

About a week ago i took an extra brf bag i had colonized and followed franks 50/50 jiffy mix casing tek bc ive grown tired of just fruiting giant grain cakes and half pound brf cakes.
I microwave sterilized the casing layer for 9 minutes and crumbled the cakes into a disposable cake pan with a debth of about 2.5" just bc thars what i had on hand. Covered with foil for 24 hours and the myc started poking thru and patched it with more jiffy mix. Let colonize for another two days and then introduced it to fruiting. Right now i have about 250 pins on the casing.. thanks Frank horrigan for the helpful tek.. when my next batch of cakes are ready planning to start some monos!

That's because you're not supposed to fruit grain cakes and half-pound is way too big for brf cakes.  Performance is going to be shitty at best as you found out.

When fruiting grains, a casing layer is needed.

And the half pound brf cakes were made in filter patch bags that can be mashed for faster colonization.. as long as its colonized and consolidated why would large brf/verk cakes perform more poorly than a smaller cake?
