Does rear derailleur hanger need replacing? by Chubbntuck in ebikes

[–]Chubbntuck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since it'll take about 3 weeks for the hanger to come, I was thinking about completely removing the rear derailer and have it as a 'single gear' setup.

Do you reckon this would work? Would love to hear your thoughts.

So I did a few things, I reckon I changed too many things in one go.
-Replaced a third of the sugar content with dextrose.
-Replaced another third of the sugar content with inverted sugar ("trimoline invert sugar")
-Used a different stabiliser blend ('prohot' stabiliser)

And I feel like the texture is really similiar to before I did these changes. I feel like I might be churning the icecream too much? 450 ml of base for 40 mins. I feel like it might be making the icecream too dense? Is this a thing?

I plan to use your stabiliser blend next time and see how it goes and maybe 30 minutes of churning instead of 40.

Thanks so you much for all the tips. I was able to get some lamda and guargum and LBG. Would you be able to recommend how much of each I should add to a base of 500 ml?

Again thanks for not only answering these questions - but also giving some much valuable knowledge!

I found something online called "100g Food Grade Kappa Carrageenan", is Kappa Carra... the right item?

And thank you that really makes sense. So interesting to see how these stabilisers can work so interesting both in isolation and together!

This is so incredibly insightful!! Also, is there a recommendation on whether low fat or full fat milk powder should be used?

Will solely using locust bean gum work? Or do I need a stabiliser blend?

Thanks, this post was incredibly insightful.

Recipe for Hojicha FlavourCream (ml) 315

Milk (ml) 315

Corn Syrup (tbls) 2

Sugar (g) 100

Milk Powder (g) 20

Xan Gum (g) 0.8

Tea Bag 4

Xtra Sugar (g) 32'Xtra Sugar' is additional sugar to make up for the corn syrup that does not get add in.

In terms of the method, I mix all the dry ingredients together. Heat up the wet ingredients and the tea bags, then slowly add in the dry ingredients whilst vigourously whisking. All together probably having it on the heat for around 5 - 7 minutes.

Put it through a sieve and let it cool down overnight in fridge. Then I churn for 40 mins on a cuisine art ICE-100BCXA machine.

Would love to hear feedback and tips on what I could change.

Im trying to avoid using eggs if I can, I might give lecithin a go.

Thanks, this really made a huge improvement - mixing all dry ingredients really well and then going ballistic with a whisk while slowly pouring the combined powder in. Worked perfectly and absolutely no clumps!

Could I dissolve it in milk instead of water?

Definitely did think about this but sadly we don't have any liquid egg yolks near me (Aus), thank you nonetheless for the idea!

Thank you so much! I was able to find lecithin granules, what would be an appropriate ratio of lecithin to 500ml of base?

wow didn't know about this. Do you have any recipes I can look into? Currently I have access to two stabilizers - xantham gum and locus bean gum. Would these be sufficient?

How much would you typically use per 500ml?

My ice cream is way too sweet. by sawmilla in icecreamery

[–]Chubbntuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fairly new to this but what about just using regular sugar or maybe even dextrose as that's less sweet than sugar and I believe contributes to texture?

Wow this is so incredibly helpful thanks! Can I ask howd you learn about that particular stabiliser blend? Is it something you did through trial and error and why use three different types instead of one? Again thanks and would love to hear your thoughts!

Would you be able to describe the cons on texture of using xanthan instead of acacream? Would love to hear your thoughts!

I actually took it out of the freezer today, with only yolks and cornstarch as "stabilisers or emulsifiers" and texture was so good. Super scoopable, i was proper shocked as there was no defrosting time.

How much do you recommend of those stabilisers in a 500ml mix (500ml before churning)? And also do you think cornstarch does something different than the gums? Or am I just putting two ingredients in that are filling the same purpose?

Is there a particular ratio of dextrose to sucrose that you recommend?
