    Re: Silent Sumatran

    It might help to have the heatgun pointed at the other end of the bucket...even further away from the probe. just a thought.

      I agree.
      My probe is in the middle of one side deep in the bean mass and the gun is pointed into a corner.

      If I point the gun into the middle the temp readout instantly soars.

      Your gun looks too close to the probe for my liking.

        I had another go this morning and decided to position the gun at the far end of the bucket as suggested. I think its an improvement. The gun must have been a little higher than last time, as the roast dragged on a bit. I will keep this in mind. I never did hear 2C ("Silent Sumatran..."   ). At the 20 minute mark the beans were approaching CS 9 so I felt it best to eject at that stage.

          Thats probably because it hasnt reached SC yet, With the Blue Lintong you do have to be a bit heavy handed (more heat) after FC otherwise it takes an eternity to reach SC.

          Which is a different story to the Sumatran Takengon which seem to get to SC rather quickly.

          How very odd you get 2 beans from the same region with 2 completely different roast profile... :-? the only thing I can think of is they are probably different Varietals.

            Just finished another roast of this sucker...   I didnt raise the gun and back off after FC (12 min) and I think that did the trick. Thanks. A noticeable 2C came 6.5 minutes later at 18.30 min. I wont bother posting the chart but it turned out to be a nice steadily increasing roast temp wise. Approx. 200 degrees at FC and finished at 226 when I removed at the start of 2C. Tried out my new bean cooler and it had the beans down to just over 40 degrees 2>2.5 minutes after I popped them on it.  CS 9>9.5ish. Will let them rest for a week and try. Excited about this one.  ;D
