Dunking: Should i dunk for the first flush?

Hey... i heard from a friend that i should just birth the cake for the first flush, then dunk + roll for the 2nd + 3rd flushes. Do you think it will make much of a difference (in terms of yield or whatever) if i dunk during the 1rst or not? Thanks!

In my opinion, the related anecdotal experiences of others is only worth so much. Without reproducible data it's really nothing more than a thought... and that's totally fine. Brilliance begins as thought, but so does a lot of other stuff.
My point is, you should probably try it both ways, several times, and establish what works best for you in your own environment. Then stick with it. Even is you get a clear response one way or the other from fellow board members, you may actually find that the minority opinion is what really does it for you.

Good point! I will have to try it both ways and see. Thanks for the advice!

I alway dunked too and it always made a noticeable difference in yield. The thing here to remember is as the myc colonizes the substrate it uses quite a bit of moisture so a substrates moisture content is always in heavy demand and gets depleted (fact!) So I can tell you from experience cakes will always benefit from dunking whether it's initially or between flushes guaranteed!

IMO there is a big difference when you dunk. you should without a doubt dunk your cakes in between flushes.

I say, yes dunk it right when you birth the cake. My first cake did not pin for 20+ days because it was way to dry after no pins for that long I actually dunked it and it finnaly pinned 7 days later.
So personally I will dunk every time I do a cake.
