Winnowing of cocoa beans in Andrew Frongello's chocolate making process. This is Andrew Frongello's winnowing device that he designed and he shows us an in depth walk through of his process and operation of the device.
An old video, but still very well worth watching. I like your setup, especially the air controller. Was looking for something just like this for air milling milled powders but on a scaled down level. ❤❤❤
Hello Andrew. Great videos, and great machine. I am from Boston, MA, but now live in Ecuador. I’m making chocolate at home. I’d like to build a cracker and winnower like yours . Do you have a list of the parts that you can send to me? I would really appreciate it.
Hello Andrew! Great demonstration of working process! Thank you! Where did you get grinder rollers? What is it? Where can i buy couple of this rollers?
Hello Andrew, I want to make my own chocolate spread, do you have any recommendation in term of the quantities of cooca butter - cocoa liquor and any other ingredient, thanks
The only semi-liquid substance that should ever be in chocolate is cocoa butter. Which, unfortunately for you means chocolate will always be solid at room temperature. What you are interested in is Ganache. Ganache is simply melted chocolate with heavy cream whisked into it. Heavy cream is the only fluid that mixes well with melted chocolate. You will no longer have chocolate though....you will have ganache. The more heavy cream you use the more fluid your ganache will be when it cools. Experiment and you will have a chocolate spread that is the consistency you seek. Good luck.
I have a champion juicer and never used it for crushing. Couldnt compare. www.chocolatealchemy.com argues that they are comparable. I just never liked the idea of putting the juicer through the trauma of cracking beans. Was never designed for this.
Charlie....I wasn't able to find the dust deputy locally. I ordered it online. I remember it being what seemed like a rediculously expensive amount for basically a piece of plastic but honestly I would never go without it. I made a home made one once and it didn't work nearly as good. I think the dust deputy brand goes for about 50-70 but I have seen knock offs for about 20. Key thing is to make sure the suction is connected correctly. Suction should be coming from top center piece not the side piece.
