Cakes Dunked Before Casing
    #5647112 - 05/18/06 05:29 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

Now say I had a particular situation where I had dunked my PF cakes for awhile, but then decided to case them - Would the dunking negatively impact mycelial and/or fruit growth? If I were to case with already-dunked PF cakes, would I need to cold-shock the whole casing in order to have a better chance of initiating pinning when the time comes?

Also, I was wondering what type of impact a wide range of temperatures ( not hot or cold enough to cause major damage) would have on mycelial and fruit growth - does this simply slow production, decrease potentcy, or what?

Thanks

I've always dunked cakes before making casings with them with excellent results!

All dunking does is rehydrate the mycelium network, as with PF cakes mine were also somewhat dry when I birthed/cased them. Dunking isn't necessary but will definately not hurt things.

It is fine to dunk then case.

Colder temps will cause slow down the pinning a little bit. Higher temperatures I'm not sure but I know that the drop of temp between incubation and birthing (about 10F) is important to trigger pins. GL

Thank You, I appreciate the responses. I was worried that the dunking might provide a more suitable medium for contaminants to grow in, but I was very sterile. Thanks again
