First off....great forum. Great members with great advice! Thanks so much.

Next, we are preparing to open (early 2010) a super-premium ice cream store in Colorado Springs. We will manufacture our own ice cream using a base provided by a local dairy.

Here is my question....

We want to start testing recipes, working on creating recipes and make ice cream on a small scale. Without buying a batch freezer, blast freezer and the associated equipment, how can we start test-producing ice cream in our home? Are there small-scale sizes of the equipment so we can start working these recipes or should we consider buying the regular size equipment that we may use in our store and simply move it there once we open?

Any suggestions or idea would be appreciated as I am sure this question has been encountered by most of the members here.

Thanks!
Paul

There's only one way to make good ice cream, that's with good equipment.

I live in the uK and have got help from Ice Cream courses and a local College. I have just spent 30mins looking at one of the recommended off site websites (www.dairyscience.info) and see that this site has some training links- nearested to uS is University of Guelph dairy site

This is interesting and I think is the one I am going to get.

So you spend a little, but don't forget that almost all these machines will not be 100% accurate to what a real full commercial machine would be, so it would be a good starting off point. A

Are you able to have the dairy give you small amounts of base that you can work off of?
