Refining your Chocolate with your Grinder

• Ensure to keep your grinder completely DRY before using for chocolate.
• Even a little bit of water may ruin the entire batch leaving a thick fudge like mass that cannot be refined in the grinder.
• Always ensure to have a ratio of40% cocoa liqueur,60% sugar OR20% cocoa liqueur,10% cocoa butter,35% sugar,35% powdered milk.
• The sugar you add should be regular white cane sugar. Do not use powdered sugar which contains cornstarch. You can always use a blender to reduce the size or powder your own sugar.
• Pre-grinding your sugar will save 2 or 3 hours of time in the grinder. If you find it too hard, just don’t bother the grinder will handle crystals of sugar.
• If you are using brown sugar, it should be completely dried before being used.
• We do not recommend Honey, Malt powder,milk cream, milk in liquid form, condensed milk,water,roasted nuts,roasted cocoa nibs, fresh fruits or dried fruits.
• Cocoa liquor contains about 50% of cocoa butter and the amount of cocoa butter helps the chocolate flow smoothly while refining.
• Too little cocoa butter may make the chocolate clumpy around the rollers and may even damage the grinder. You may even go for 20% cocoa butter for smooth flowing of chocolate.
• If the paste is found too thick during the course of grinding, a standard hair dryer can be used to add heat.
• Optionally, you can pre-heat all your ingredients in a warm oven to about 140F/60C which will allow the grinder to work more easily.
• Always check for moisture formed in the lid after 3-4 hours of grinding.The moisture can run into your chocolate and ruin the batch.Switch off,wipe the lid thoroughly and start the machine.
• Your chocolate must be flowing smoothly between the rollers,if you find any problem then it would be a wrong method of grinding,read the instructions carefully and check recommended quantity information.
