| Is a "Hit Miss" engine better than a "Throttle Governed" engine for making ice cream? |
| It has been suggested that a throttle governed is easier on the churn. I do not think that it makes a difference. I like hit n miss engines because you can tell from the sound when it is almost ready. In my opinion, hit miss engines also attract more people. |
| What RPM should I run my 20 quart hit miss ice cream churn? |
|
I have mine running at about 35 RPM and it works very well. I think that 35 to 60 RPM is a good range. |
| How much salt? |
| Lots of salt! It will cool faster! . I read somewhere that you need 4 parts ice and one part salt! |
| Rock salt or table sale? |
| I think that table salt works best. It melts the ice faster. It does not pile up in the bottom of your wood tub. |
| How long should a batch take? |
| If you are using a 20 quart freezer and it is turning at about 35 RPM you should have your first batch done in about 35 to 40 minutes. After your first batch it should only take about 20 minutes. |
| Pulley size? |
| Check out our pulley sizing chart and remember you need to turn the freezer at about 30 to 60 RPM. |
| Where to get commercial ice cream mix? |
| We supply an ice cream mix that is made and tested by the Amish. I use a our dry mix and sometimes Pet Dairy's 14 % butterfat. Please send me your thoughts on the ice cream mix that you are using. |
| Maintenance? |
| Make sure that you grease the head with food-grade grease. Make sure that you keep some water in the wooden tub a few days before making ice cream. If it has dried out it will leak, sometimes too fast and will cause the ice cream to take too long to freeze. |
| Parts? |
| What parts do you carry to hook up my own hit miss engine on a cart? |
| You may want to take a look at the list in this kit. KIT |
