How to make a water ganache with Paul A Young

[@l2iowacowgirl893]

When adding whiskey or other liquid, do you deduct water or just add to the recipe after cooled

[@KeylinkLtd]

Hi, yes! You would deduct water. We'd reccomend using a culinary whiskey - these whiskeys have a higher alcohol content, meaning less needs to be added, less water, and a longer shelf life!

@KeylinkLtd where would I buy it?

@@l2iowacowgirl893 we offer a selection of culinary alcohols, including Label 5 and Glen Turner - you can find them here: www.keylink.org/products/alcohol-concentrates

The cameras above the bowl to show us close ups would be so much better

We'll bear this in mind for the next video, thanks!

Hello, 2 questions: What natural preservative can you add to the ganache to make it last longer? Do essential oils extend. the shelf-life of the ganache?

[@KeylinkLtd]

Hello! There are plenty of natural preservatives (depending on what you consider natural!), such as honey, sugars, and alcohols - shelf life is quite a varied topic so we'd reccomend taking a bit of a dive into it. A great place to start would be our livestream higlights on shelf life, which you can watch here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGfFp6qQZqtka7M Hope this helps!

in respose to your second question, essential oils shouldn't have a major impact on your ganache :)

Can I use cheap (inexpensive) chocolate to do this ? I'm thinking of Asda own brand chocolate bars.

[@KeylinkLtd]

Hi! It very much depends on the ingredients of the chocolate - if it contains vegetable fats, it may not react as intended! We reccommend couvature chocolate for best results :)

[@Caulaysmom]

Can you please give us the ratios to make this.

[@KeylinkLtd]

Hi! Paul reccomends: 550-600 g dark chocolate 65% or above 150-200g light muscovado sugar 400ml water Different couvertures will set slightly different, so adjust the above to your taste and desired softness of ganache :)
