There's no real rhyme or reason - I shelled and filled 4 molds of the flavor mentioned above yesterday afternoon, refrigerated overnight and pulled them out and capped them today. After capping, 2 molds looked mostly released and 2 didn't, so back into the fridge for a while - maybe an hour? By then the other 2 molds had mostly released except for a couple of pieces here and there. I got 100% yield on that flavor but had a little CB stickage on a few other flavors that unmolded more easily. So who knows. Make extra and don't be in a hurry
Yeah, I think I might need to work on longer timescales. Having to temper over a double boiler twice on two different days for the same batch seems like a hassle, though
