    Re: Roast-a-rama

    Hi Mal,

    I have attached photo of my set up with the heat gun and breadmaker. The more roasts I do the more I like it.

    Hand roasting did have its advantages, I liked the mantric state of stirring the beans and seeing them transform.

    However what I notice with the hands free approach is that the changes in the beans are more observable, or at least I notice more what is happening because I am not so concerned with the stirring and holding the heat gun.

      Mal, I forgot to thank you for the advice regarding the Costa Rican beans.

      You were right about the dark colour, fantastic.

      I took it to about 20 seconds into rolling second crack.

      Second crack didnt take long, first at 7.10 and second at about 8.50, they really darken in a hurry dont they!

      Cant wait to try them but cant drink any more coffee today, I am switched on for the rest of the day, hopefully not too much of the night.

      Geoff.

        Gday rowdee,

        That Costa Rican roast looks terrific... cant wait to read your cupping impressions once your metabolism has slowed down a bit . Your setup looks nice and simple, and talk about effective 8-). Im going to have to rig up something a bit more permanent to secure the heat gun as I havent got very good dexterity in either of my hands anymore.... So the thinking cap has to be worn for a couple of days . Will look forward to hearing what you think about the Costa Rica beans in a couple of days,

        Cheers,
        Mal.

          Thanks Mal,

          Still drinking the Sumatrans today and they are getting better every day. Cant believe the depth of flavour that keeps developing.

          I will try the Costa Rican either tomorrow or Monday and let you know.
