    Re: Sour beans for a newbie roaster :-(

    Well done TG on revealing it was a home roast. Its nice to get compliments for your efforts.

    When I did the Columbian beans, the popper couldnt push the 130g so I had shake the popper through most the roast. Id stop shaking occasionaly to check the roast profile. Getting better now at identifying the signs, smoke, color, etc so know when to expect the cracks.

    How much did you roast in the popper to overheat it?

      Only my standard 100g.
      The MM is obviously a different bean to the others Ive roasted so far.
      Second batch was 80g and no problem.

        I havent posted in this thread in a while and thought Id give an update.

        Ive been roasting Columbian beans as I rather enjoy them and bought a lot to roast for Christmas presents. The Christmas pressie roasting was a lot of work - lots of small size batchs to roast, then grind, then package and label. Heres hoping the recipients enjoy and appreciate them!

        Ive dropped my roast batch size to 100g from 130g. This is because 100g is enough for me for a few days. Also with the slightly warmer temps currently, Im getting 8-9 min roasts.

        Ive now done away with the chimney as I hate staring down it to see what color the beans are and getting a face full of hot smokey air. Also at night the lights cast a shadow down the chimney and makes it hard to see what color the beans really are.

        So now roasting with no chimney. Not losing any beans and getting the same roast times as with a chimney. I can now see what color the beans are much more easily. Also roasting at night with lights is more enjoyable as I can easily see what color the beans really are.

        Do most people use a chimney on their popper?
