Fermenting and drying cocoa beans from cocoa pods/fruits at home. So I've been making chocolate as a hobby for a while and wanted to understand the fermenting and drying process more. Here is my first attempt at fermenting cocoa beans straight from the fruit and then drying them under the sun.

I didn't know that it take 6 month for the cocoa bean to pod to blooms then wait for 10 to 14days to harvest. 7 days fermented 5 days in sun Wow 💫 I didn't know it would take 😳 this long to get chocolate. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge 🙏 😊

Y’all keep missing the point, what do you do between those ferment stage on a daily, i.e. do you mix it every hour or open for air each ....

How many days do you let them ferment in that box? And how many hours per day drying in the sun? Thx mate

Thanks for the video! I am about to try to make chocolate from cocoa pods as well. Can you elaborate on how you made your box set up? Are the beans elevated enough to be out of the draining liquid? Do you think the plastic basket is necessary for that? What kind of yeast did you add? Do you think yeast is necessary or did you add that because your fermentation was not going as well as you hoped? Thank you for any feedback you can give. It seems like there is not enough information out there about the fermentation step of this process, even though it would appear to be an error prone process and the ingredients are very expensive to get shipped.

Did you ever get answers to these questions? I’m just starting research on how to do bean to bar at home. Any pointers would help tremendously.

@theryanhollis 2 жыл бұрын

@@dianabotsford4992 I never got answers, so I just winged it. I ended up putting the cocoa beans in a plastic container that mushrooms come in and I cut holes in the bottom. I put that in a tiny cooler with a heating pad on top. It worked well and stayed pretty warm like it should. I never even used the beans yet! I need to do that

Maybe try cleaning the container often and if you are using banana leaves change them every day

Hi! I’ve followed the steps, and after one day of fermenting, I’m seeing some fuzzy white mold? Does this mean my whole batch is bad now? :(. I’m in Haiti, and we have fresh cacao on trees here. I am using a large plastic bin lined with banana leaves and a drainage space at the bottom of the cacao. What do you think I should do now?

@adamalvey2491 3 жыл бұрын

Is it grayish and dense or white? If it is white it should be fine, non-toxic. Grayish you may try spraying a small amount of hydrogen monoxide to kill the mold. I'm not sure how this would affect the coco, but I've used this technique in mycology.

Can you ferment them in a normal bowl with a cloth cover and stir once a day?

No, you should ferment them in a wooden box or plastic container that has holes underneath. Sorry for my bad english, i hope you understand.

Fermentation is needed in order to develop the actual chocolate flavors and different notes like fruity or coffee etc. , nature is impressive.

How many times do you need to show how to open a cocoa pod??? Get to the point. Than again how many times do I need to see someone put the beans in a box? How many times do I need to see you seal a foam cooler. Aahhhh
