Hi there,

 We are selling our Three roll mill. It is a kent with 9" x 24" rolls. It is a great deal on a big three roll. Asking 13k

Please email us at info@starchildchocolate.com with interest, thanks.

It looks as though we are selling our Antique Lehman. This is a very unique grinder. Because of the change in production process it looks as though we will no longer be able to use it. Its such a beautiful machine though that we feel someone should!

$18,000

If interested please email us at info@starchildchocolate.com Thanks.

Hi there,

This mill has 9" x 24" rolls and can grind down quite a bit of chocolate fast. . This machine is not ready for chocolate just yet but with very little work it can be.

Hi there folks, 

Im hoping to see if anyone might be able to recommend me in the direction of a recirculating water cooler to attach to our three roll so that we don't have to waste water to cool it. 

We have an old tyme. We use it mostly to pre grind cacao but have run nuts through there as well. It makes a pretty ruff grind peanut butter.  No reason the sugar couldn't go through it but it wouldn't do much to it as it doesn't grind down much smaller than the sugar is already. The best I have seen yet is the robo coup Blixer 5 about $3000 and the best deal for the money. Grinds nuts into paste very well and super fast. It also combines ingredients together well. This is what we are looking at for anything to do with nuts.  

Hi there folks,

We are looking for an enrobing belt for a fbm prima. Needs to be in good working condition. Thanks 

My contact email is info@starchildchocolate.com I would be interested in one. 

250 for both?

This years finals have been announced! And theres a lot of great chocolate on the list!

Hi there guys,

Im wondering if anybody has any experience with vanilla interacting adversly with the acids in a batch of chocolate bringing out a strong sour flavor? When adding the same vanilla to a batch made with a less acidic bean it did just fine. Mind you were talking half a teaspoon of seed scrapings to 30lbs of chocolate, not very much, but a very distinct diffrence before and after addition of the vanilla. To the point of, in my opinion, ruining the chocolate.  

Hi there, We are pretty intrerested in a few of your items... My E-mail is info@starchildchocolate.com...

That really is very nice. Do you mind if we share the link around?

Hi there, we would be happy to take the melter off your hands.

Hi there,

I couldnt claim to know much of anything really but as some smaller grinders dont heat up much, which helps burn off the acids a bit, you may need to run your grinder anywhere from 1-4 days to mellow the acids you have in there. You could also try adding some heat with a heat gun as well but would want to be sure you dont burn the chocolate. Above 140f for an hour or two would help. Beyond that you could try lifting your time and temp on the roast and see about burning out more of the acids in the begining.  

Hi there, We might be interested in the three roll... If you could message me at info@stachildchococlate.com that would be geat. Thanks

Here is another option that works. Ive heard of folks mailing in these, without ice packs, mid summer with no problems.

That sounds great. We would be interested for sure. Our best form of comunication at the moment is by email info@starchildchocolate.com but would love to talk to you more.

Thanks for the response, We would be looking for a much larger volume than what is available on your site there.

Anybody know of a source for a quality organic bean from Guatemala? I have had four people in the past week ask us for Guatemalan chocolate and we have yet to find a good source. Thanks

Hey there, Haven't checked out the dogfish brew yet. Looks like they are selling it here in California too. 

Some where on the site here Clay posted plans for a DIY Cooling tunnel. I Tryed bulding something like it and it did a pretty good job for us. Came in around $800
