Tempering Machine can I keep adding chocolate chips?

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

When I use a temperimg machine and melt the chocolate to 115 and then add chocolate chips (the seeding method) to bring down the temperature to 90. (Or 81 first and then 90) can I then keep addding chocolate chips?

I mean the tempered chocolate chips eventually melt to 90F . In this scenario would I theoretically be able to keep adding so called seeding chocolate? 

I mean some of the seeding chocolate will still be solid by the time the temp hits 90/92F. After stirring it eventually will all melt but that solid chocolate that ends up getting melted at 90F will temper too, soooooo when does adding solid chips become too much? 

anyone have any experience with this and temperimg machines (the larger ones like 5-50lbs)

Thanks for any advice fam.

Cottage laws in ny do not allow for production of chocolate. Why is beyond me as other states do allow it. I think it's rigged! It also doesn't allow for online sales, only online promotion.

Great, your advice is a start. I'm located in nyc but could also run it from a different state if that's easier. Seems like a lot involved and quite expensive to pull off. Thanks for the heads up though. Hopefully i can pull it off.Business idea: wondering if there's any chocolate companies that are willing or allowing you to produce your chocolates under their umbrella in their facilities, against a fee You'd be an employee but would receive most of the profits of product sold. It's kind of a startup thing!

Hi, newbie chocolate maker here. I have been making chocolate quite some time now for close friends and international business. I would like to take my chocolates online but find information regarding this really hard to find.Not sure if there's a forum for this but was wondering whether a forum with more detailed information about:Starting a chocolate business legit, what steps (permits) and requirements are needed?I would like to rent a commercial kitchen for production. Make a batch and then store it and sell online, ship from storage place.What lisences, permits or requirements are needed? Where do you go? Thanks for any help with this, Thanks.
