Title: cakes
Post by: sin2win on October 15, 2008, 11:59:17 AM
When the cakes r fully colinized... Do u put them right into ure case or leave them in the jar til they start to pin a little?im going to case bout 6 cakes and im not sure.

Off topic-  Where would u reccomend getting rye (store)?  Does it have to be a certain kind.  Also, when getting WBS, can just a generic version ok cuz i seen a gourment 1 (looked like it had more white millet and less sunflower s).
Where can i find crushed oyster shells and ground calcium carbonate, and is this really necessary or reccomended?

Dunk the cakes submerged in water for atleast 12 hours, 24 hours preffered. Then Roll the cakes in some verm and set it in the chamber.

Wait 1 more week after fully colonized before doing the dunk and roll method.

If you search some of my recent posts you'd see that I have kinda covered this already. -_-
Some people wait till pins, and some don't.
I refer you to this link http://www.fungifun.org/forum/index.php?topic=803.20  Reply #25 on page 2.

You need feed grain.
With Rye you need Rye Berries.
Oyster shells and calcium carbonate are optional.
Myc will grow on just grains alone.
