Re: S.A. CoffeeSnobs "Roast-Off"...
Finally got 500g packed up and ready to go. At 220g green in the Gene, it
takes three batches to make 500g, so I tried to get them the same, with
reasonable success, stop times within 30 seconds of each other. Greg, I was
getting 5 to 5:30 between FC and SC start, so will be interesting to compare.
After all that, I looked at what was left over and thought hmm I can do a wok
roast with that, so gave it a try. Much better than last time I tried, which was
before I knew anything about roasting. 300g in the wok (big cast iron base
helps with the heating), moved along quite well, yellowing at 6:30, FC around
13-14 (reasonably even at that stage), but longer than I would have liked to
SC at about 22. Unfortunately I pulled it a bit early, due in part to
mis-interpreting an increase in smoke as rolling SC, and in part to fear of
being murdered for ruining the wok.
I dont think it will be hard to pick this one in
cupping ...
Yes Ill have my roasting notes.
