another dunk question

Can i take my fully colonized brf cakes straight out of the closet, wipe off the top layer of verm., and fill with tapwater for a dunk in the fridge?(All this without even removing the cake from the jar?) Or is this a bad idea? Any suggestions?(I'll be taping the holes on top first ofcourse before placing in fridge)

the best way to dunk your cakes is after they are fully colonized wait an extra 5-7 (makes the mycelium stronger) take them out of the jars handlying them gently rinse the stale water off of them (dont worry about getting all the verm off the top) put them all in a big bowl full of water submerge them. i use a piece of rabbit fence a little smaller than the diameter of the bowl and weight that down. put them in the fridge for 24 hours take them out and roll them in dry verm place in your fc and wait 1/2- 1 hour and lightly mist the verm just to get it moist

They will absorb little to no water unless you remove them from the jars and hold them submerged. In the jar, the cake can't expand as it absorbs water, therefore the amount it can absorb is limited. RR
