Small chocolate production setup

[covjeculjak]

Hello all,

 

I am looking for some tips on making a full functional kitchen for chocolate and confections

 

I am making it from scratch so any tips are welcome

 

Cheers

Always add additional storage, regardless of how much you think you need.

 

Add extra power to your place.  Do not install power based on equipment you have, but on equipment you would like to have

 

Really think about your working process, plan it out, and then really evaluate your plan

 

always think about growth, new equipment, new molds, storage of product.

Are you building it to code?  Both city and health department?

Thanx @RobertM for the reply and tips

 

Great tips! 

 

Yes building it to code, my budget is not the biggest one in the universe, but little by little I want to make it fully functionable

Here's mine - I believe there are a few more discussions in eG as well.

Don't skimp on ventilation.

Cool!

Tnx for the replys

What kind of fridge is suitable for storing finished products?

I know about the temperatures, air flow etc, but having hard time finding something that meets all the requirements

[Kerry Beal]

How much finished product do you see your self storing?

Aircon, you need a steady max temperature for chocolate making, hot summer has hampered me here in the UK this year.
