I have done a few roasts post the youtube one. One that started to smoke just as I pulled it, tasted too much like Vittoria for my liking so I wont go there again, was post 1st crack, but did not make cracks again.
Currently waiting for some
a) time
b) cool weather
c) no rain
d) less roasted beans to use - got 500gm roasted to use up
before roasting some more for ourselves. I have made some minor mods to the popper and am tempted to repurpose an old cpu fan and some flexible tubing to introduce cool air into the roasting chamber to push out the times further. Have managed to get at least an extra 60-90 seconds depending on ambient temp.
I just got to get it right so I dont make oily beans (which I assume is a bad thing) more playing about to do. Currently hanging out for the next greenbay and will grab a stack more of whats available today and whatever is available then



- which will render the popper obsolete.
