I'm surprised at the micron range for batches from the stone melanger! I mean, they're still pretty popular, so you'd think there would be more consistency especially after such a short time. Thank you for going into such detail with the different techniques!

[@berniehewett]

Please provide some info... I am surprised no-one asked for 1) the name of the ball mill manufacturer 2) the cost to buy the mill.

[@navinyadav210]

How hot water and cold water works outside the ball mill and also supply pump? And how is this necessary for milling process?. What is the main principle of ball mill?

[@WestHavenGroup]

To get really smooth, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate, how long should chocolate run in the ball mill? You say 2-3 hours in the video - at what RPM? Or, is the 'intensity' measured in hertz (you note 50 hertz in the video)?

[@MrSaidou73]

Do you think combining macintyre and ballmill in recirculating closed loop is best to make chocolate paste

[@danam3266]

Thank you for sharing. Did the ball mill change the taste of your chocolate ? If not how did you do ?

[@irfanpramana2829]

Thanks for this video...
For this ingredients: Sugar , fat shortening , and cocoa powder, which one we put first at the ballmill, and sometimes our product get dry pasta, is it need cooling water?

[@travisalcorn6003]

Are there any smaller ball mills anywhere for the hobbyist? I can't seem to find any...

[@irfanpramana2829]

Hai dylan, I've question about ballmill, in our ingredients, we have some flavour liquid to add in our pasta cream, but when we add this flavour liquid, our pasta getting dry quick and the water jacket increase its temperature which is we have turned off heater. And after few minutes our pasta cream going suck, what's cause this problem?

Thanks for ur valuable information sir, may I know the seller of Ball mill machine since I'm in India

[@undicimichelini]

Nice video, thanks! How do you wash the equipment once you are done? With 80.000 small balls, you have lot of surface were chocolate will get stuck.

[@christiannathaniel4349]

at my place we would flush the internal system using fat so it would carry out all the leftover chocolate and clean the machine.

[@CraftChocolateTV]

You clean the ball mill by flushing it with cocoa butter. But when you put dark chocolate on top of dark chocolate or milk chocolate on top of milk chocolate you don’t need to do a complete flush clean with cocoa butter. The cocoa butter can then be used in the following batch of the same origin or inclusion.

[@safetyleednkom8274]

From here you still put them melanger?

[@docchil6617]

How long do you refine a chocolate using a ball mill? thanks

[@sahilkukreja1804]

Hi thanks for the knowledge. Can you tell me what is the ideal temperature while grinding?

[@CraftChocolateTV]

For dark chocolates we run the ball mill at 50to 55°C. For milk chocolates we run hotter 55 to 60°C in order to begin caramelizing the milk
