18. Spirulina Wellness disc batch 28-3-26
Recipe Instructions
I forgot to reduce the water content, so this will take longer to cure, so I'll give it 6 weeks, on the 9th of May 2026
Turns out my INS number was far too low at 133, whereas it should be between 136 and 165
31-3-'26 - There were lots of drops of water on the surface. In the small square mould, it was discoloured and looked like oil tbh. Won't be demolding just yet, plan on giving it another day or two.
