Anthony Lange replied to Mike's discussion Building a vibrating table in the group HomeBrew Chocolate"Hi Mike, Just re reading your post where you seem to say that the vibrating table 'doesn't seem to produce any "snap."

Jeff Stern replied to Anthony Lange's discussion dipping machines..."You could always buy a Mol'd'art or other brand 10kg melter. Holds more chocolate, easier to dump back into, and cheaper than a Hilliard's Little Dipper. I own both. Use the ladle to fill or the syringe or pastry bag method. You can…"

Something I should imagine that has happened to most of us... I have a Rev2 machine for small trial batches and when it reads one temperature, my digital probe reads another and my surface digital gun reads yet another..... I suppose I could just chuck the whole lot out but then what would I do. Intuit the temperature. Divine it or just go with the standard lip test. any Ideas would be welcome.... most welcome. tSee More
Tom replied to Anthony Lange's discussion dipping machines..."I don't use a ladle per se but a large flat kitchen spoon that scoops about 75g at a time (the size of the mould I wish to fill so I don't have to double dip), just scrape the bottom of the spoon on the side of the bowl and pour into the…"
Ruth Atkinson Kendrick replied to Anthony Lange's discussion dipping machines..."Tony, I can confirm your intuition that ladles are a source of constant frustration and waste.
Got to get glasses--read this as ladies:-)"
Carol replied to Anthony Lange's discussion dipping machines..."Ruth,
I love this idea and will use it. The thing I am wondering about is - how to get the shells filled and then drain them quickly enough to get a nice thin shell. The first time I tried this method, I had to really bang out the excess chocolate…"

Jay said… - Sorry, only one bag for now. If this quantity is too small, a connection to some kind of distributor here in the US would be great. Someday, hopefully, I'll need pallets or tons. I'm considering doing a bean-to-bar chocolate shop. So I purchased a convection oven, melanger, grinder, made a winnower, and am now practicing making chocolate and confections. Finding repeatable bean connections is proving difficult.
Thanks,
Jay

Mike Flynn said… - Keylink in the UK seem to be good. My contact there is Elaine Morris (Elaine@keylink.org)
One other option for you would be to go to a Supplier like Barry Callebaut in the UK and ask them about becoming a distributor. I was on a course recently in Dublin with a girl from Gibralta who was looking into this. My contact there is Debbie Osborne (debbie_osborne@barry-callebaut.com) and she may be able to help you.
Let me know how you get on.
