@NicotineRush,
If you haven't already seen this thread, it (and its two predecessor thereads) are kind of the god-father of UC discussions. You might find "best practice" ideas there.
I should probably also disclose that I am not a UC proponent; I am not opposed to those who wish to use them... they just never demonstrated a noticeable benefit to me. I ruined several batches; but never reaped any successes. However, I think the type of recipe (fruit, tobacco, custard, bakery, etc.) has a lot to do with it as well.
