How the calculator uses this mixer

Water temperature. Its friction factor is 4. To reach 24°C dough in a 22°C kitchen, the calculator asks for water at 20°C, against 24°C when mixing by hand.
Batch size check. At 60% hydration, the calculator flags batches over 5 kg. For a 50% biga, the limit drops to 2.3 kg. Under 500 g, it warns that the batch is too small.

Formulas this mixer handles

The largest single batch for each formula at its own hydration. The limit is the same one the calculator checks your batch against.
