Your message brings back many questions, ideas, and problems of beginners.
They talk like they want to achieve perfection and knowledge about the
process, while ignoring the basics, taking shortcuts, being penny wise and
dollar foolish, and generally stumbling thru the forest blindfolded.
I have always said there are two ways to make wine, one is by the book and
the other is by the seat of the pants. I am beginning to think the same
way about making CS.
In time, I suppose, a person can develop an instinct and make half decent
CS without ever understanding the basics.
This reminds me of an old friend that was a very good car mechanic. Back
when I did all my repair work, he would help me a lot. I would ask a lot
of technical questions.
One day, he said, "If you will simply shut up and work, we will get this
job done". He amazed me and still does. A few years back he got a
patent. He came to see me about how to wire up the device.
He could not even ask the question he needed to ask. Honestly, I did not
know what he wanted to do. After some time, with me thinking hard, I
said, "Jerry, is this what you want to do"? He said,
"Yes, that is it". I said OK, and proceeded to draw out the
instructions for him.
Yes, one has to study a lot to learn to ask the proper question.
What I am trying to say, is that many people, especially beginners, do not
understand and realize the true value of mastering the process and
understanding it.
From my very first batch, I recorded current and time logs of each
batch. I did this until I felt comfortable with the results and developed
instinct for the system in use. Many people are using the automatic
systems and they do not have a clue, and never will about what happens,
when a batch needs to be stopped or when things go wrong. No doubt some
need the automatic systems. I have never been interested in them.
The one question that Faith asked about the largest batch was never
answered. If he had my 100 AMP regulated power supply, I think he could
make many batches and soon have a train car load of CS.
