bad batch of chocolate callets?


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

Just wanted to thank you for your help, refrigerating it immediately worked a treat and did exactly what I needed!

Does anyone know of a similar unit available in the UK? I have been looking at an automatic tempering machine to help speed the process up but this looks like it would be a lot more useful to me overall. Any advice would be much appreciated

bad batch of chocolate callets?


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

Thank you, I'm attempting another small batch today and will try to fridge them immediately

Its only the side in direct contact with the mould so i think its not cooling quick enough and the immediate chill will hopefully resolve this- i will post my results later!

bad batch of chocolate callets?


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

 Hello, I hope someone can help please

Over the weekend I have tempered over 15kg of both dark and white chocolate using the seeding method with no issue however when I come to the milk chocolate I am having nothing but issues

I am using barry callebeaut, honeycomb( not coated in coco butter) pieces set in the middle, vacume form plastic moulds ( polished)

I am checking the temper before use and it is always fine, the back of the chocolate and the chocolate itself once set is fine but I am still having issues with bloom? Can you get a bad batch from the supllier? 

please can anyone help! I cant upload an image as it wont allow me to? sorry
