Birth the cakes when they are fully colonized (after they are completely covered in white mycellium).

If they've been going for two months you're going to want to dunk them also.

no need to dunk really for the 1st flush,but theres not doubt it would be good to do it..i only dunk for the 1st is i thin kits drying out..otherwise just dunk for future flushes..dont wait to see pins in the jars...when the cake is fully colonized put it in the fruiting chamber and wait about a week or more to see pins..

Quite right. My question is where are people getting this faulty information to wait until they see pins to remove their cakes from jars? I've heard this quite a few times lately. Whoever's preaching this needs a kick in the teeth. JK.
