I am currently fermenting a small batch of trinitario beans (1816 g) in an oven set at 100 deg F. Today (day two) I added some bakers yeast to the beans. How long should I ferment? The beans are draining quite a bit.Robert

Fermenting small batches of cacao in a controlled temperature oven
I think this is the thread Tom is referring to.

Thanks Tom. I followed Bittenbender's fermentation procedure fairly closely. Fermentation was for 5 days at 100-105 degrees oven temperature. I suspect bean temp. was higher than the oven temp. When removed from fermentation I noticed a few black beans, about 2 percent. Any idea what causes this. I have separated the black beans on the sun-drying table.

Two changes we made with the chocolate is that this time we winnowed the chocolate. This time we didn't use a blow dryer to melt the chocolate. Two improvements with the chocolate is that the melanger didn't get clogged this time and everyone put in work.
