Yes, this is normal. After running through the melanger, you'll need to temper your chocolate to get stable, bloom-free chocolate. There's a lot of information on tempering on this forum and on the CA site and forum, so I won't repeat it here.
getting lots of bloom, is that normal?
Hello, Chocolate Lifers,
Im new to chocolate making, but not the consumption 
I recently got myself a small melanger, and I have run a few batches of nibs through it, and I see my temp hitting 170F. I have been following the guide on Chocolate Alchemy, its within the range that is mentioned.
When Im done with the refining I pour it onto a sheet of plastic wrap, and double it over till it is cool.
My question is this;
The finished chocolate has ALOT of bloom. Is that normal?
I find it ironic that the one quality we dont want is inherent in the manufacturing process.
Cheers
Al
