dunk before casing?
    #5534359 - 04/19/06 05:11 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

Can I take a cake (BRF), brush off the vermiculite, place in a ziplock with a lot of water in it, and break it up to be cased?
Then after letting chill in the fridge for 24 hours, poke a small hole in the corner to let the water drain. Then refill the bag with new water and drain again. (rinse that!)
Then case with 40 coir/60 verm that is just slightly drier than normal casing. ( This will allow the extra water that didnt drain off to be absorbed)

Basically i'm asking if you broke up a cake while dunking, would this possibily shock the mycelium too much and lead to contams/death?

Would it be better to dunk, place in FC for 24 hours, then break up?

i could be wrong, but i dont think that you need to dunk, since the casings all about holding moisture. it just doesnt seem to be needed i dont think. i could be wrong though.

I personally dunk, Unless I'm spawning to straw, cuz it holds all the water you'll need :lol:.

As for the cold shock, cubes don't require it. If anything it'll slow it down (myc. growth), for a day or two. I wouldn't cold shock it.

Cold shock is more so for pans. and woodlovers ectect.

Yea. Easier that way. Just open the jar that it's in, pour in some good ol water, let soak for 12 hours or so (24 at most), then take it out, let the water drip off, and then use it for whatever you're doing :thumbup:

Works great
