I guess you can remake chocolates with more ingredients, but if you're gonna buy cocoa butter just make it from scratch so you can make it custom, proprietary shit ya know.

I'm tryin a batch of the blender to bag in water tek now. 4 bars. One at .25 per serving (6 grams chocolate), pme at .5 per, one at .75 per and one at 1 per. Curious about the end result without tempering. Debating if coconut oil is a good idea.

I have a 25kg block of shea butter. It's refined so not as tasty but it could certainly bulk up my Ghirardelli pieces. Fold in some decarb/lecithin/MCT/mush for fun.

I was going to originally but I think they would be far less potent.. and I'm really just trying to make this batch last longer..

Let us know. Why coconut oil??

1:6 or even more would be needed if your trying to do intricate molds.
Now I'm thinking maybe if it wasn't pourable I could shape it with tools and cut it... I didn't get to it last night, and I got some markets to attend to today and tomorrow. But I did make some bho yesterday. And I got some bark to do also. Stay tuned
Also I'm going to utilize a green inkbird temp controller to control the double boil water temp

The last batch I used some espresso flavored dark chocolate chips mixed with some milk chocolate chips and that shit was delicious!
Some of you guys are over complicating things, but that bag idea is pretty nifty!
got some Godiva white chocolate that someone is going to put some food color in and try to make it look cool also. Probably should make something other than a ice cube.

A professional weed chocolate maker told me she uses crisco so I'm going to try that soon.
Otherwise I use the formula in lotkids journal using coconut oil.

Hey guys, I need some of your inputs.
Here is the situation: we are renovating the house, which means I have very little room at the moment.
The only place I can leave my shoeboxes to fruit mushrooms, is on top of the wardrobe in the bedroom.

This room also happens to be the only place where I can setup my "lab", when I need to do sterile work.

What I am really concerned about, is "polluting" this bedroom (the only place I can do sterile work and fruit shrooms) if there is a contamination in one of the shoeboxes or Pastywhyte EZD (everything is pasteurized) - or if shrooms sporulate before I harvest them.
I recon I'll have a proper fruiting chamber (outside of the house) in 3 months.
Do you guys think I can get away with this setup by paying very close attention to the mushrooms and harvest all of them before they drop spores? Or is it really too "dangerous", and I should focus on growing sclerotia until I have an FC outside the house (or in another room, when the upstairs will be finished)?
For example these P. Cubensis Mexican will be ready to harvest very soon.

Thanks for taking the time guys

As long as your working in front of your filter right and as long as your filters working right it shouldn't matter if that's what your asking. The spores won't enter your flow if the flow is right, and they won't make it through the filter if it's the right filter

Hi fellas!
I am starting to venture into grain water agar, but with a lot of doubts. (I'd use MEA or PDA but they aren' readily available in Argentina and BRF brings me trouble...)
Yes, lots of you TC's use it consistently with success but without following any widely recognized standard(some use it undiluted, some dilute it using their own judgement).
So...Given that I have zero experience with it...
Is undiluted grain water agar sufficiently nutritious to germinate spores?

Wow I had no idea chocolate was so complicated.
Iβm glad I never tried to make them because I for sure wouldβve microwaved some hersheys bars and dumped powdered shrooms in

I'm just going to use Hershey kisses. I was thinking they might not even need a temper because Hershey probably adds something so they can just skip the tempering process, I would guess. But I'm still going to try.
When I make some bomb shits I'm going to use organic fair trade cocoa and cocoa butter, organic coconut milk and organic powdered honey.

If you are just trying to keep it simple. Look up a recipe for buckeyes or coconut balls. When mixing the filling before putting in powdered sugar mix in mush powder in desired amount then mix in powdered sugar until the consistency is right. Then dip in chocolate as normal. You can also mix it in no bake cookies when heating the peanut butter. You will cook some of the chitin making it easily edible.
The peanut butter and chocolate or coconut cover the taste completely

You can find out (I don't know) or you can add some dextrose (corn sugar) to simulate PDA. Or you could just simmer a sliced potato for half an hour and use that (the "P" in "PDA").

Okey... I guess I'll try, I'm quite on a low budget currently so I try to stick to things that are known to work. Unfortunately most things are unavailable here, dextrose is one of those (not easy to find at least).
I generally do BRF agar but I'm tired of getting translucent mycelium in every single plate, its a PITA to work that way.

The .25 came out nice. The .5 came out nice. The .75 was wonky and was like squeezing a semi opiate induced butt muffin out with the assistance of laxative. The 1.0 was an absolute shit show. Workable but I'd not do it if I cared to get the doses near correct. Came out like the drug induced butt muffin without the aid of laxatives. Not sure if anyone can relate but that aint good. Had to pack it into the mold by hand.
Then I went to the bar and shot some pool, came home and checked on them and I don't like the non tempered chocolate as well either. It melts in peoples fingers. So then, at 1 am, I decided to try a batch the ol fashion way and compare. I do believe I prefer the classic double boil, seed, temper bla bla bla. It's not that hard at all.
To whoever asked about coconut oil, I'm not a chocolatier but I was told it helps keep things nice a fluid. So long as you don't add too much it just helps things flow while the mush powder tries to lock things up.
