How the calculator uses this mixer

Water temperature. Its friction factor is 11. To reach 24°C dough in a 22°C kitchen, the calculator asks for water at 12°C, against 24°C when mixing by hand.
Batch size check. At 60% hydration, the calculator flags batches over 2.5 kg. For a 50% biga, the limit drops to 1.8 kg. Under 800 g, it warns that the batch is too small.
Hydration range. Its maker publishes 55–80%, so the calculator flags doughs outside that range.

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.

Can Ooni Halo Core mix biga?

Yes. Ooni Halo Core is suitable for stiff biga dough. Lower hydration reduces usable capacity, so check the batch plan before mixing a stiff preferment.
