Well gradually I have been building up to doing my first corretto roast.
$15 Tiffany BM from crime converters a week ago.
Selection of different Green beans from bean bay arrived on Friday
$40 ozito heat gun today
hadnt got the stand, fans or temperature logger yet and was going to wait, but....
I just could`nt. Stood outside holding the HG over the BM. Didnt really hear FC (hard to Know if its the equipment making weird noises, but i will get use to it in time maybe?).
SC came about 17 minutes in I think, (is this normal, I was roasting Brazil Original Bourbon)
Around 19 minutes in they looked ok to me, so i stopped and cooled them down, swapping them from cold pan to cold pan.
The wind was getting rid of the chaff quite well and i am pleased how they look and smell, but as a newbie who has only had shop bought, may be not the highest standard yet.
Tried them straight away (as i couldnt wait) and again they taste good to me (newbie).
any tips on where to go from here (i.e whats more essential?)
I roasted 300g of green to 250g of roasted.
another question, i pointed the hg to one corner of the bowl inside, is this normal practice and there any blueprints or designs available with specifics?
Thanks, Please see attached pics of first corretto roast.
