Roasted in the KKTO 940g equal parts: Java Kalistat, PNG Ondu, Finca el Carmen and Mexican Finca Kassandra. Smells great fresh out of the roaster but I'll give it a week. :thumb:

Please let us know how this tastes, as the blend sounds divine.

One week on I've cracked this today and fluked the grind to give 60ml from the 18g VST basket at 92degC. Lots of chocolate and chicory with a really syrupy mouth feel. This one I reckon will only improve over the next two weeks. It has lived up to its promise and will go into the book. This is not so much of a Kapow but more of a Mmmmmmm... Yum!

So Alex the Builder, What beans are you roasting this week :stir

In the AM loaner HT I'm doing some peaberry, honduras coe, MM & some indo kuta - along with some Peru Ceja de Selva Estate, Not sure whether to blend them or drink as is. I am digging myself a hole though, in that I want to taste everything which is freaking the grinder out. Wild variations in grind between different beans + the freshness means I'm wasting a lot. Ah well, cost bugger all compared to buying browns

couple batches today in the hottop. 280g of the 4 bean mix Richard suggested the other week. 250g Guat Los Volcanes Antigua both medium roast

Tonight's roasting is 2 different roasts. One for a colleague (of which I'll take some) and one for just my curosity: Roast 1: 300g Colombian Supremo (from Di Bartoli) Roast 2 - After the wife liked Muscles Ka Pow Blend so much, thought I'd try something a bit "out there": 115g Peru Ceja de Selva 100g Ethiopian Harrar 60g Colombian Supremo 25g Indian Kaapi Royale Robusta

1kg of 'lucky dip' Yemen. Need some beans to take with me on a 4 week trip leaving tomorrow. Still been ridiculously busy with the new job but can see some light at the end of the tunnel once I get back. Will have to buy a box of decent 500gm bags when I get to NZ. The only bags I've managed to find over here don't even have the one way valve.. I've rebuilt the bucket / vac cooler after the vac sucked a bit too hard and the whole thing imploded. At least I managed to salvage the beans! The collander is now held in place with metal brackets and bolts. These yemeni beans are hard little suckers that take a lot of heat to roast, so the slow cooling didn't seem to do them any harm. And here's a pic of my temporary roasting setup on the back step. Have to get a roasting table / bench sometime soon... :doh:

To-Days roast 200g Harrar + 200g PNG Kone ka estate + 200g Shinzan God Mountain F/C 13.35min then taken to 4.00 min after F/C and cooled before any sound of S/C. Nice even C8 look forward to trying this blend.. Cheers Gra..

Quasi roaster at the moment. One day (very soon) a KKTO will grace the deck and I can get stuck in. The HT is a great intro and I'm super thankful that AM loaned it to me while he jet sets around Nam' but I'm looking forward to stepping up on several levels, batch size most importantly

You are welcome to finish the project I started Just needs a couple of items from the wreckers and a timber base It's yours if you want it It's 90% complete KK

Done. I will have some goodies for you at some stage in the near future. Got some very cool things on the brew

Out on a limb.... 140g Yemen Al-Hajj Boa'an 140g Yemen Mocha Ismaili 280g Sumatra Mandheling 50g Indian Madikeri Robusta mix it up and whaddya got? ;D Let you know in a few days.... 😃

Thats the biggest problem. I cut off the store bought beans and started roasting which means I drinking too fresh at 2 days ( or sometimes same day) but I'm going for it to try and build stock. Not easy with the small batches and other crap going on 😉

Just did a late afternoon roast It's a non scentific mix of Ethiopian Harar 300gr Indian Monsooned Robusta 300gr Cuba Altura 150gr So I will see how it goes Probably a little strong This mix was prompted because of AMs trip to Vietnam and all the talk of Robusta KK

Blend the Ethiopian Yerg and the Indonisian 40% to 60% mix

Muscles

I love the Deterra and Sidamo so if it were me I'd go 60% Deterra, 30% Sidamo and chuck in 10% Robusta just coz that's what I've been trying lately. 60/40 Daterra/Sidamo should go well as is but I reckon the PNG Robusta will add a little extra oomph...

Thanks guys will do ( if the dog doesnt get em first) :rofl:
