What Coffee are you roasting this week

Excellent effort SS - nice even depth and excellent roast development - the technical terms escapes me once I've consumed a few drinks.........it's what I call the "puff factor" of the bean. Panamas are lovely to roast - generally roast very evenly and can surprisingly take quite a lot of heat without breaking down or showing signs of scorching or tipping.

Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate the feedback :thumb: ...for behmor people I did this on 1 P2 C, first crack was at 11 minutes (although that was when a lot of cracks were happening, I was having intermittent cracks for about a minute or so before that) and second crack two minutes later.

Having a PNG couple of weeks. 3kg of PNG Wahgi AA I had from last year and another 2kg of some PNG Gouno as well. 7kg extra PNG Wahgi arriving to test with plus I have found another bag since. Plan is to roast 4 or 5 roasts of it this week and then the rest the week after to set a benchmark and some starting rules for my new roaster. FREE Wahgi anyone? 🙂 Seriously if anyone would like some then for around 500g for $8 or 1kg for $12 to cover postage and a coffee bag or two, apart from some for my cupping and testing I am going to be giving the rest away locally as I play. Bit like a drug dealer giving out free samples 😉 Drop me a PM.

Mind you it was a chafey bean and the colour etc was interesting... Enough chaff that I could have mistaken the bean for a parchment type.

I've read this a couple of time now from a few people and it's got me a little intrigued. Surprisingly, I don't get a whole lot of extra chaff when I roast it - for me it's just like any normal/standard washed central in terms of chaff generation.

That COE from Brendan smells like a fruit salad /Monsterio delicios and thats when it's GREEN...

I haven't seen anyone else other than you comment on this, but it definitely is the best smelling green bean I've ever sniffed. Amazing smell.

The chaff seems very "light", so it's possible that just with our types of roaster that the chaff is getting big updrafts, and taking up lots of space?

Sooooo much chaff with the COE. I miss it, badly 😢

Wife would kill me if I offloaded any of our remaining 11kg stash, sorry 🙁

All good RM. Forces me to try other things. Those hondurites better produce another COE next crop or there will be strife. Question is, what on earth are you gunna do when you run out. Wife will be a COE junky 😛 by then and you're screwed :rofl:

Rwandan Musasa taken to first snaps of 2C. Sumatran Aged Late Picked taken 20sec into 2C plan is to try them as single origin and also blended after resting for 7-10 days 🙂 tried the Musasa in my Clever Dripper yesterday, produced a lovely juicy brew displaying a creamy mouthfeel with choc/fruit notes -a most pleasing bevy :thumb:

Would that be because you have 11kg of a certain COE that D is after? :stir. Think the 'brotherhood' might be around to break some bones & pull some teeth to get a few kgs RM 😃 Roasted some of KK's Columbian decaf and some Suamntran Lington yesterday. I also bagged my Hons COE into one way valve bags to ensure it stays sweet!

shape_shifter

Just did a colombian Opened the door 30 seconds into first crack for 30 seconds, it extended the time between first and second crack by one minute, so I'm up to three minutes between first and second crack.

Just to add my second roast 400 grams of Ghimbi just a tad darker than my normal roasts, smells a bit toasty as well 🙂
