Re: Coretto down
I think this is a good lesson in having contingency plans ready. Thankfully the BM in my original roast died before Id even turned on the heatgun so I didnt have to rush to the rescue with my MWA (manual wooden agitator). The popper did a nice job of fixing everything in the end.
Im also thinking of reworking my cooling system. You might remember it as the giant fan mounted inside a rubbish bin. I dont have a shed so I have to move my equipment outside and then back in everytime I want to roast and the current cooler is just too bulky and annoying.
So Im thinking of something I could mount to the side of the breadmaker so it would all be one unit. What do you guys think of a leaf blower? Small enough to not be too much hassle? I thought it could have a tin for the beans to sit in with mesh at each end.

The velocity will be a little high. More volume and lower pressure would be better to save the wastage of the litle brown nuggets
