Hi all
Just received my mixing kit and will be starting my first mix on Sunday. Ive been doing some reading on here and watching on YouTube and come across a video showing a guy mixing with one of those coffee frothers. He says he's found especially with custards that using a frothers cuts the steeping time right down to 3-4 days. He says you need to let it settle as the frother puts a lot of air in it. I am not a science buff but I take it that it breaks everything up real small making all the ingredients bind together faster bringing steeping time down.
Does anyone use this or a similar method? Please let me know your views .

From what I have seen its fairly common way of speeding up steeping, along with an ultrasonic bath. Have also heard of people using a slow cooker/crockpot to keep the juice bathed in warm water.... Anyone you ask will likely have a different way to the next person  |

As DiscoDes says. I did an experiment about 6 months ago and made 100ml of Custardy Lovechild. I frothed half of it for a total of about 20 mins in 5 or 6 little sessions. It made no difference to steeping time needed at all. The only tool you need it time |

You need a buttload of willpower It smells yummy!!!  |
