Yahbut, innat 'stretching'?
I've had a coupla experiments, and I'm very subtle about the amount of air I introduce to the milk, but I do introduce air in the whirlpool for about a second and a half, and then spend most of the rest of the time trying not to get any more air in (submerging the tip) while maintaining a whirlpool. Depending on the hour and how many shots I've had, I'm fairly successful, (not early am with none, or late pm with ten...) and the art is showing it.
I started with rosetta, tried laurel leaves, and I'm now working on swans and dragons. Freepours. but I do 'stretch' still.
Jim, I did get a lot from your post, but I'm not sure that stretching, introducing or heating phases (although, I'm pretty sure that the 'heating phase starts when you open the wand, and ends very shortly after closing it...) fall into the same category as Nessie, Champie, Yeti, or compassionate Conservatives.
Whaddeyemiss?
