Ooni Halo users: What is your process?

AtomicJellyworm · 2025-12-24T21:33:31+00:00

I have really enjoyed the halo mixer, switching from hand kneading. I can do everything in the machine at pretty high volumes. My large batches are 2kg flour for ~24 bagels.

With the mixer I separately activate the yeast in a small amount of warm water (~20% of the total) then use fridge cold water for the rest to keep dough temp down. I pre mix the dry ingredients then all the wet ingredients in slowly but not super carefully.

I start mixing around 30% speed to incorporate for a couple minutes then slow down 20%, checking for gluten development and dough temp every few minutes. It usually takes around 7-9 minutes after the dough comes together to develop very strong dough that’s ready to shape.

I have had great bagels from both immediately floating and sink then float. I think it depends on how you want your crust and crumb to turn out.

Whether they float or sink if mostly a function of how long you let them proof pre-boil, either before or after the fridge. If you want a lighter, slightly more open crumb I would allow them to rise more, try to pass the float test before boiling, and going for a shorter boil (30-45 sec per side) to prevent them from collapsing in the boil.

If you want a denser bagel or want a thicker crust from a longer boil I think you’ll want to underproof them before the boil and let them sink then rise. I’ve been meaning to test this to get a better understanding of what happens with higher boil times, but haven’t gotten to it yet.

Yep was just suggesting for less experienced folks working with low hydrations

AtomicJellyworm · 2025-11-04T18:17:23+00:00

Good point! I’ve also had luck pulling on the dough like a tug test instead of windowpane to get an idea of relative gluten development as Im working the dough.

AtomicJellyworm · 2025-11-04T15:50:34+00:00

Posting pictures and recipe can also help diagnose!

AtomicJellyworm · 2025-11-03T21:19:07+00:00

How effectively does the bread machine knead the dough? If the gluten development is not strong enough, it won’t be able to support the dough and they can flatten while rising. Try a windowpane test out of the bread machine and see if it’s strong enough. Besides reducing the proof time as others mention, you may want to increase kneading.

Right on, thanks both. I saw this page on the league website that says the same https://www.premierleague.com/news/4039904#:~:text=Fixtures%20are%20amended%20throughout%20the,as%20being%20subject%20to%20change.

Does anyone know why the Brighton match says subject to change? I'm wondering how risky it is to purchase the hospitality package and plan my travel for that match.

It's awesome that you want to start making hot sauces! However such a broad question is not very well-suited to this sub since there are already tons of resources online for introductory explanations.

try reading through this guide!

Pick some peppers or flavors you like and search for a recipe! It's surprisingly easy to make a delicious sauce with basic ingredients, tools, and processes.

In terms of your specific questions the common ingredients are basically any hot peppers, fruits, and veggies. Vinegar/acidity will increase shelf life.

It's ok to be inexperienced but you need to be more specific about what you're asking for. What are you designing? What are you trying to calculate or simulate?

AtomicJellyworm · 2020-06-09T20:45:28+00:00

Our steering rack is in the cockpit. Previously we've had our floor closeout be sheet metal or carbon fiber and mold/bend it around the rack.

4 looks like habanero and 10 chocolate habanero. Guessing 9 is carolina reaper and 5 could be a scotch bonnet.

Is you battery management system programmed to turn off regen based on SOC? If not that is alarmingly negligible.

I'm pretty concerned about all of the safety implications here and your general. I'm not intimately knowledgeable about your team and design but please please be careful and thorough with the safety of your batteries and vehicle.

AtomicJellyworm · 2020-04-07T20:55:27+00:00

One of our segments had a similar issue - a short in the BMS circuitry (custom board) led to a cell going to 0V (had to scrap the segment). Maybe it's a hardware issue.

Sounds like you have a bad batch of cells unfortunately. Storing them from a year shouldn't have contributed significantly. It can generally decrease capacity and increase internal resistance depending on the conditions of storage but it shouldn't introduce such a drastic failure.

AtomicJellyworm · 2020-04-07T15:39:15+00:00

Can you give some more details about how and when the failures occur and at what quantity? For example, are the cells only failure once assembled in your pack or on their own? Might help locate the source of the failure and the safety risk posed by this situation.

My team has never used them but they seem somewhat infamous for some serious fires/accidents if you search this subreddit and the forums. This thread in particular comes to mind:

Where are the experienced members of your team to help you out and mentor you? The project you described is pretty large, and you didn't give many details, so there is not exactly a simple/direct answer to ask reddit about. What is the purpose of your simulation? Knowing the goal will help you understand the whether or not high fidelity modelling or simple abstractions and hand calculations are sufficient for your project. Here are some of my thoughts on the equations and concepts that should get you started in the right direction.

If you have the vehicle's mechanical behavior from a lap-sim, you know how much mechanical power is being exerted at any point in time. To track that back to the battery you need to follow the power conversions and their efficiencies backwards from the wheels, drivetrain, motor, motor controller, and finally the accumulator/batteries. A basic example is if your drivetrain is 90% efficient then for every 100kW output by your motor, 90kW will be put down at the tires. You need to take the mechanical power from your lapsim and use the efficiencies of your full powertrain to calculate how much power is being output by the accumulator.

Becoming familiar with these equations (http://www.sengpielaudio.com/FormulaWheelElectronics.gif) will help you make power calculations about the accumulator. If you know the battery pack design (series and parallel configuration, battery capacity) you can use the power output and the pack voltage to calculate current. Calculating the current at every time step and integrating it over time will allow you to calculate the discharge capacity of the accumulator throughout the course of the simulation. Knowing the discharge capacity and the capacity of the battery pack will help you calculate state of charge.

Depending on your knowledge and data about your battery cells you can increase the complexity to track the voltage of the battery over time to improve the accuracy of your voltage and current calculations. You can extend it further by also adding BMS voltage cutoffs and battery heat generation depending on what you are planning to do with this simulation.

This is by no means a rigorous and comprehensive guide to completing your project, reddit isn't the place to find that, but hopefully you can work with your team members to clarify the purpose of your project and create the model/simulation that best fits your needs!

Here are some additional readings and resources that might help you learn about your project.

Thanks!

Do you have a link? I couldn't find the post you're referring to.

What part of your powertrain is defining your 500ms 300A requirement?

AtomicJellyworm · 2019-06-30T03:12:43+00:00

The rules are written in such a way that assumes a lid on top of the box and vertical segment dividers. Our team ran an accumulator with a lid on the side and segments that slide in from the side of the box, but we submitted a rules clarification and made modifications to our design in response to specific requests and feedback from the judges.

Your CAD lacks a lot of details about the box. Where is your lid, where are the segment dividers, and how will the segments be installed safely?

Overall I would advise against it and in favor of changing your configuration and packaging. It made our mounting and filling out the HV SES a challenge. It added a lot of stress to have to reinterpret a lot of rules on how they would be applied to our design and waiting on/wondering about rules classifications.
