      Re: Starter pack just delivered

      My first efforts today, I am rapt in the results.
      Brand new popper for $12 at Cash Converters- WIN!

      1st effort in the morning, just under 1/2 cup of Vietnam. 3.0 min 1st crack, 2nd crack finished at 5 min. Dumped and cooled. Repeated with another 3/8 cup at the same timeframe, except still in 2nd crack when I dumped @ 5 Min.

      This evening I roasted some India. This time I used exactly 1/2 cup and had to help it agitate for the first minute. First crack at 2:45 and I dumped just into 2nd crack. Repeated this as well.

      So I now have two labeled jars containing roasts, that I will seal after 12 hours of venting and then re-open and sample in 2 days.

      Cannot wait.
      Thanks for the encouragement Andy.

        Try a shot right away... waiting is too hard!

        They will change over the coming days so you should hide them from yourself for a while but they will still produce a good coffee on day 1.

        Enjoy the journey!

          For what its worth, Ive found that if I roast a batch of something cheap along with whatever else Im roasting, I can drink that first in the coming days and accept the fact that its not primo coffee. Then, when I switch over to the good stuff it is that much more amazing.

          Well J-Rod - thats my input. As an old Italian lady told me as we were discussing moka pots: take it with a grain of salt.

            Not bad. Now to wait til Monday morning to see how it develops.

            some of my roast is darker and has an oily sheen, some is matt in appearance. I recon the difference is about 30 seconds!!!
