    Hey Jeff

    Here is the cooler.

    I think the shots are pretty self explanatory. A bit of overkill done mounting the fan - I have a mate who loves to over-engineer things ;D - really all that is needed is three L shaped bracket rivetted to the buckt at the appropriate screw hole points in the fan and you are away.

    The fan already comes wired with a standard 2 point plug so its really simple.

    Makes those chefs on Masterchef look a bit silly then.
    I stopped watching after the episode where the resident chef reminded the contestants to remove the spine from the calamari.

    Not just the French. The Dutch call it "aardappel" which has the same literal meaning.

    But you wouldnt be putting one in your popper (to steer this thread back on topic)

    The drum sieve also doubles up to make brilliant pommes puree (mashed potatoes)  

    According to my French, pommes purée is applesauce. "Pomme de terre" is potato.

    Well there ya go - and google language tools agrees.  

    Makes those chefs on Masterchef look a bit silly then. That is where we got it from.  :-?

    So i guess we use it for pomme de terre puree then

    Yup

    And I got a drum sieve from a catering shop that sits in the top of the bucket above the fan.

    It will cool 500g of beans in less than 2 minutes




    Ill take a pick of the completed thing on the weekend and post it if you like

    Off to Bunnings Jeff, big bucket, 20cm exhaust fan and some fiddling...
    The cooler could be my next pre-corretto project I think. I assume the exhaust fan is set to suck air through the beans?

    OK, so 300g isnt unreasonable in a Corretto then?  
    Not at all. As you have said, you have half the kit already, like I did. Your outlay is small to have a lash. All you need is a breadmaker....

    BUT.....then you gotta cool them down... :-/

    I think I have to up my coffee consumption estimates anyway... the 140g I roasted on Sunday and started taste testing on Monday is all but gone by Thursday. I think Im still getting used to the volume of coffee I seem to be using now I have a decent machine.

    I think 200g would be too small a batch..

    300g nets about 250g roasted weight.
    Thats the same as a store bought bag; most people are used to buying that much at a time.
    Agreed

    I have moved from minimum 250g batches to 300g batches. It makes a noticeable improvement in control for only a small increase.
