Dunk and roll
    #23671338 - 09/23/16 02:59 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

I've heard that dunking and rolling isn't necessary for cubes but everyone does it. I also read an article about an experiment RR did where he dunked three cakes and left three without and the ones without pinned faster. Is all of info I have wrong?

The dunk and roll process provides a nice micro climate. It works like a casing layer. You should give it a try. I don't work with BRF cakes anymore but in this hobby you can try a lot of things. I recommend dunk and roll.

I didn't think about it producing a microclimate. I heard it was to simulate a "cold snap" or something like that in the wild

The dunking process makes a 'cold shock'. Thats not necessary for cubes. The verm layer acts like a small casing.

So would you recommend just dunking it in water and rolling in verm rather than an overnight dunk in the refrigerator? I've always just not dunked at all but if this is more beneficial I'll try it

You can dunk after the first flush to rehydrate the substrate. If you have fresh cakes you could just dunk them for a few hours or so and roll them in verm. As i said dunking is not necessary but beneficial.
