Nothing really new here - but thought Id share some pics of my Corretto rig!
Specs:
Bread Machine: Breville BB290, on Dough Cycle
Heat Gun: Bosch PHG 630 DCE, digital control 50-630deg, 2000W
DMM: Jaycar Digitech QM-1526 - with thermo probe.
Cooling: Large 60cm Mistral Fan from BigW
Completed Roasts: About 30x580g Batches (about 500g after roasting) - perfect fit for my valve bags.
The trimmed down guitar stand has been great, this in conjunction with my bread machine stand (2 old touch screen stands and a piece of pine) gives unlimited adjustment. Ive found all this adjustment a bit overkill, the digital heatgun allows me to fine tune the temperature, I rarely have to adjust the height.
I suck the chaff out into the yard by placing the fan in front of the roast. I then flip the fan over to cool the beans! The advantage Ive found in sucking the chaff over blowing it, is that it doesnt really affect the performance of the heat gun.
Im on my second thermo probe - the first one got smacked by the paddle on each revolution, so it didnt last long. I relocated the second one to the corner, clear of the paddle!!
Cooling method is basically me physically shaking the hot beans over the fan, it works ok - one day Ill build a bucket cooler I can just drop them in to!
Pics...




When I next do a roast (hopefully in a day or two) Ill take some action shots!
