Types of Sweetening and Conching Time

Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, & Techniques

Hello Richard, I was following this post as we have also started using the CocaoT melanger and are learning a lot from this post. I am looking for a micrometer and would appreciate any suggestions (such as online stores and brands), on where I can find one.

Thanks to all three of you, I buy and sell cacao nibs and paste and last week decide to buy the CocoaT melanger as well. Our first batch we used a kilo of benian cacao paste and and ran that for about 6 hours before adding any sugar into it. We used brown sugar and then let it run for another 12 hours. We have now tried 3 batches and with your notes now have a clear understanding of what to do for batch number 4.
