How To Build A Cacao Fermentation Box | Ep.107 | Craft Chocolate TV
A step-by-step on how to build a fermentation box to help improve post-harvest quality. This particular box is designed for our fermentation process, but much of the construction techniques will apply universally to all types of box fermentation methods.
**CORRECTION** We stated that the plywood used was poplar, however, it was untreated, food grade maple plywood that uses food grade soy based glues. The wood available will vary, depending on your region, but it's important to use food grade untreated wood for health and safety reasons.

    Very useful although I have a question about plywood which is produced using chemical glue per layer. It would be great if you continue with the videos of the fermentation process, manufacturing drying facilities and so on.

    • @CraftChocolateTV
      @CraftChocolateTV 3 дні тому

      Though the video states we used poplar, that was an error. It is food grade maple plywood using food grade soy based glue. As for your second requestion, you're in luck! We are currently following a veteran cacao producer here on Oahu while they ferment beans from start to finish. Stay tuned for more videos on post-harvest practices. Thanks for watching!

    hi, I am Juan from Colomba, i woud like to ask you, what kind of wood is best for fermentation boxes, and how important is it for a correct fermetation process and the quality of the cacao bean. Thanks for all the videos,

    • @CraftChocolateTV
      @CraftChocolateTV 3 дні тому

      Mucho gusto, Juan! The wood used needs to be food grade plywood with food grade soy based glue. As mentioned in the video, any wood that comes into contact with the cacao should be untreated. As for the importance of a correct fermenation process, this is really the most important step for a good quality bean. The fermentation process (which includes the drying process) are where the flavour and quality are developed. Without it, it's really quite challenging to make good chocolate. The good news is that we are in production on a post-harvest video with a veteran cacao producer here in Oahu, following along as he ferments beans from start to finish. Thanks for your questions and for watching, Juan!

      For that reason, for everything that will come into contact with the cacao, we use untreated poplar wood, include the plywood.

      @@CraftChocolateTV Untreated is good, sure, but the glues use in plywood are very rarely food safe and almost never regulated. Some of them even carcinogenic. If the ply is thin and the cacao juice is acid, there is much chance that it will seep into with the changes in temperature and humidity.

      @@figueroalabs Hey, we wanted to thank you for raising this question, as it led us to more thorough answers! First, the plywood is food grade maple (not poplar as stated in the video) and it uses food grade soy based glue. You're right - if it were regular plywood with typical glues, it would be a health concern, but the folks building these boxes use food grade materials for that reason. Thanks for helping us clear this up!
