Hi there,
So my hottop is due to arrive tomorrow or friday, I have some beans on the way, bags I have sorted, and scales are being looked at tonight. I cannot wait
Being new to this home roasting thing, and wanting to get up to speed as quickly as possible, I am looking at taking detailed notes on the coffee I am roasting. (OK, it might just be that I cant remember a thing
)
I was just wondering what you guys take note of? At the moment I am thinking of noteing down for each bean the time, the temperatures over time, the colour over time, and batch size. Then of course I will have tasting notes that relate to all of this, and I will attempt to roast the beans to different levels to make sure I get the best of every bean in the blends that I create.
Have I missed anything out here? From what I know, I have no control over air flow or temp profiles in the hottop, but I want to take note of the temps for my own interest, and of course for when I eventually go silly and buy a commercial roaster I want to be able to replicate these roasts (hey, dreams are free
)
Anyway, let me know
Thanks Guys!
