    Re: Sulawesi Tana Torajah Kalosi bean advice

    Im really glad that I read through the posts here before starting out on this bean! The roast was a bit uneven, as others have stated, and almost no chaff - quite different from the Ethiopians and Brazilians I have roasted previously. I was pretty unsure about the whole thing, but I seem to have similar results to others - so hopefully the wisdom of the crowd pays off.

    Hotshod - I...er... : borrowed your profile, but pulled it just as SC was starting up.

    Now to rest up and see how it tastes in a few days time.

    Thanks to Hotshod Mal and Stan for all the helpful comments!

      Greg/Hotshod, if youre out there...

      Ive been following this thread and noticed you have the same heat gun as mine - the digital Bosch.

      I never get tipping with my roasts in my Corretto as I always use the low fan speed setting II up until the start of FC. I believe this provides for a more gentle roast to FC/RFC and avoids tipping and more evenly roasts a bean throughout (not to be confused with a more even roast of a batch, Im just talking about cooking thru a bean). Now I dont have this bean in my collection but did have a Sulawesi from last years Beanbay and again I never got tipping.

      Ive noticed that some are varying the temp thru to FC but when I roast I just set one temp (450) at the low fan speed II until FC/RFC. I then drop the temp and increase the fan speed to III for the remainder of the roast.

      Id be interested to know why youre varying the temp thru FC - is it to alter the profile/taste or just to avoid tipping?

      Javabeen.

        Hi Java ,

        When using my corretto, I just write up a profile and track it with the temp probe , manually.

        I agree with you about hitting the beans too hard with heat and hi fan speed. Generally I run the HG at sp 11 but I am increasing temp as required up to 140* in the bin HG set at 450* approx ..... to maintain profile points I will use more heat & speed , or point a hand held second HG in the bin.

        With my corrett0 if I set at 450* the roast would probably only get to 170-180..... I guess each corretto is slightly different as to how it reacts.
        I do think your points are valid and HGs can often be too harsh on the beans.

        cheers
