Fermenting Cacao

Went to the Dallas Chocolate Festival and got two pods and they already seemed to have started the process (still tasted good though).  So I decided to process them to see if I could get some chocolate out of them.

This is day one of the fermentation.  I'll need to add heat to it since it's not enough mass to maintain temperature while it processes.

Last time I did this it took almost two weeks but in the end it was just about right.  This time I'm documenting it better so that I can have a better idea of what happens and where I need to make adjustments.

Also this time I added a little sugar to the mix for the fermenting to have a little more to eat as it begins the process.
