I would say no more than an hour @15psi. I wouldn't try this w/o a PC
I would think that fruiting surface of the cake is a nonissue

By making a larger cake, it takes more time to colonize and feed, but the surface area to pop out mushies too seems to play a far more important role in producing MORE mushies cuz of the more area for them to pop out from.

2 -1/2 pints are a larger surface area.
I've always had contam issues on the back side of a project (ie subsequent flushes) rather than during, say, innocculations. I would think pints wouldn't hold up as long.
Bottle culture for pints might be cool

1/4 pints are great, imo, for LC's and faht-tek iso jars.
