Hi All,
First of all, thanks to all the people on the forum for posting so much information. I managed to find all the answers I needed and was able to build the corretto without posting a question.
As for the setup:
BM: Panasonic SD-206: stripped, rewired with an On/Off switch and modified with a chaff chimney, temp probe, and shortened paddle
HG: Bosch 630 DCE
Bean Cooler: Metal Bucket, with exhuast fan
DMM: Beanbay supplied and using RoastMonitor software
I received the DMM and a CoffeeSnobs Beginner Pack, really happy with the products supplied, and the speed of the order.
First Roast was the Ethiopian Gambella Sundried, roasted to 30 seconds past rolling first crack. Roast time was just on 12 mins.
Still not sure about how it all went, but they came out brown and smelling like coffee so I can't be too far off the mark.
Keen to hear your comments and experienced tips about it all.
Side note:
As a beginner, I'd like to make a suggestion that there be a sticky thread at the top of the home roasting section that lists in a level of order the different discussions that a beginner should read to gain an insight as to what they need to do. Whilst I managed to find all the information I needed using the search function, it took me about a week to cover all of the necessary topics. The problem I found was you have no idea what information you need to know, so it's pretty hard to search for something you don't know you need.
..just a suggestion.
