Fresh pods: manage variability before grinding
Record variety, maturity, damaged material, stem load and soil. Wet washing, inspection and destemming precede cutting where required. Separate wash-water carryover from recipe water; the drainage hand-off affects downstream solids.
Dried chili: hydration is a selected operation
Inspect whole pods or flakes before conditioning. If hydration is used, distinguish dry feed, added water, drained water and recovered wet mass. Without hydration, the illustrated route accepts prepared flakes and blends them with recipe liquids before any wet fine mill. Whole dry pods require a separately specified dry-preparation module or the hydration route. A recipe that remains dry must not enter a wet-only colloid mill.
Supplied fermented mash: begin at a defined boundary
Confirm incoming composition class, particle distribution, salt/acidity information needed for materials selection and the receiving condition. Post-processing may include refining, mixing, product-specific treatment and filling. This scope does not imply supply or validation of an upstream fermentation process.
