gonna have to give a lot more details of the formulation and temperatures of operation mate. my guess is that it's simply not tempered.

Hey everyone!

Ive been playing with different beans in my melanguer and the last batch came out after 24hrs of conching. It was all fine and dandy till it set up, it got all grainy, and crumbly. Odd I thought. I tried to melt it down, and temper it, and its still grainy... Any ideas what has happened?

CHeers

"Thanks for the response, Clay.  I appreciate your insight. The beans look just fine inside and out save for some occasional light "white dust"..."
