Do you guys think it's better to dunk them?? I planned on doing that once I birthed them.

Vibe_Enthusiast said:

Alright thanks guys. I'm just going to birth them all. Or should I dunk the ones that aren't pinning?

I really wanted to do them all at once. But they're all damn nearly done

Vibe_Enthusiast said:

Because I did read they should consolidate for a week.  But I do have a feeling the others will start pinning at anytime

Vibe_Enthusiast said:

So the ones that aren't pinning yet.. wait it out? I have them flipped now so the vottom might go faster..  but then wait a week to consolidate?

---

Yes, progress like normal

Vibe_Enthusiast said:

So another questions. Pins were growing both up and down.. so wasn't really sure which way to put the cake. Anyway.. I just picked the way that most of the pins were growing. But their are some that are growing downward from the way I faced it. Think they'll start growing upward?

I'm really hoping these cakes turn out okay. I was NOT expecting to do this today and was unprepared.

I think they'll be fine as long as they stay moist and get plenty of air.

Vibe_Enthusiast said:

Do they look colonized enough? I mean.. I see some people and their cakes look so perfectly white.. and mine still has some verm and what not. Bleh.

Think I'm just in my head right now. I have the FC sitting in another tub with a heater at the bottom. So it's pretty much sitting in heated water... because my house is stays 61 during the winter time.

Also, I'm doing the humidity chamber. I have the lid flipped and slightly ajar. That should be enough fresh air.. ya think?

Vibe_Enthusiast said:

For the most part that's the verm layer. Think all but one. Other is the bottom. Just put it that way because pins were coming 0ut of the bottom.

I don't have the heat high. Keeps it around 74 or so. Technically not on a heater.. just in 'warm' water.

Just because my house is so cold.

Oh ok I see now....I think these will actually do alright. Just keep doing what you're doing and we'll see where it goes.

This is the setup

Also.. this might sound like a really stupid question but what's the biggest sign that you need to mist the cakes?

Nice setup!

Best sign is usually if they start bruising or they just look dry
