Re: Sulawesi Tana Torajah Kalosi bean advice
Im not really fussed about it KT, the only time Ive ever tried to roast more than my standard batch size is when I have dregs left behind in several bags that add up to a Kilo or more. 750-800g batches work out perfectly and when the bread-pan is covered, so do the larger batches. With the design of the Big Loaf, running the in situ element is not a great idea as the space between the pan and the BM wall fills up with chaff and would therefore create a fire hazard. A cover is a much simpler and easier option all round really.
Have tried this several times and it makes no real difference with my setup. Compared to the batch of beans, the bread-pan is only a small fraction of the combined mass. Much better to just start roasting from scratch and if Im roasting more than one batch, I cool the bread-pan down between batches so that Im starting from the same temperature every time, i.e. ambient temperature.
No problems mate.... Best to go with what ever works best for you. I much prefer to commence each roast batch from the same starting point of ambient temperature. Seems to produce much more repeatable results for me....
