ralph carnesecchi commented on ralph carnesecchi's blog post moulded chocolate wont release after 15-20 min in refrig"Problem solved... Had to tinker with Rev 2 tempering machine...instructions were dismal. Spoke to Mfg rep and he advised not to add seed until temp drops from 120 for dark to 110 and to make sure there is still seed left when it reaches 95…"

antonino allegra commented on ralph carnesecchi's blog post moulded chocolate wont release after 15-20 min in refrig"Hi Ralph,
it could be a million thing! let start first with tempering, if is not 100% it will never work. Same if there is too much humidity or not cooling the chocolate properly.
Then it could be shelling: too thin, if too thin will not…"

What actually occurs when you put your chocolate in the fridge is it simply gets cold! Then…"

Help...I'm new to chocolate. Have a Rev 2. Following instructions except for dark chocolate I raised the melting temp to 120 per Valrhona instructions. Wont release.What am I doing wrong. the only thing I can think of is when I fill up the mold for the shell I drain it back into the Rev 2 bowl and then use it for caping. Every thing I read says it won't release because of over or under tempering. When I first tried the Rev 2 I left the melt temp at factory setting of 108 and moulded chocolate…See More

Storage of bulk dark chocolate requires temp at about 65 degrees...Looking for refrig to do job.
I have a home chocolate studio, but find keeping storage temp at 65 is a challenge in Central Florida. I am going to toy with my wine refrig and see if I can up the temp. Any suggestions would be appreciated.See More
