Blue bag is for a 500°C (932°F) oven and a short ferment. Red bag (Chef’s) is the 00 for a home oven: more protein, happier at 290°C (550°F) on a steel after two days in the fridge.
If the recipe is New York-ish 00 or a cold ferment on a steel, this is the bag. Amazon listings say “Chef’s” or “red.”
