Hi,
I have been keen to roast for a while now, but just needed to pull my finger out and get on with it.
A few months ago, I tried to roast in the wife's popcorn machine after doing a little research.
The result was one melted popcorn machine lid.
But I saw potential.
I have recently made a rotisserie roaster(1st prototype) for my Weber bbq and a cooling bucket similar to the designs on this forum.
The roasting drum is 130mm diameter and 300mm long. I should be able to do 500g roast in this but if someone can confirm this that would be great.
I have also just purchased my starter pack+ valve bags and are ready to begin.
Starter Pack came with:
500g Colombian Vulcan Galeros Supremo
500g Brazil Pulped Natural
500g Peru ceja de selva Eestate
500g Ethiopian Gambella Sundried
I just have some questions/doubt that i need clarification on.
Which Beans Would be the best/easiest to start with?
What temp should I start roasting at to 1C?
i understand i can dry out and scorch the beans if i start too high.
How long on average do I have to wait until I taste the beans?
I have read 7 - 10 days, but also 3 - 5 days, 2 weeks (arghhhh!)
Can the beans be stored in the reusable valve bags right after cooling or do i have to wait 48hrs to degas the beans in a container?
Hopefully i have supplied enough information I am very keen to start roasting and if someone can help us that would be great.
Many Thanks!
