greenman great discussion on time between first and second crack, when roasting on the corretto I always aimed for 4.30-5min time span but since switching to a drum roaster my times have reduced to 3min-4min resulting in enhanced flavour development :thumb:
Jonty This arvo will be PNG Kimel peaberry and the famous KJM blend. Nothing exciting (hoarding my Hons COE :stir ).
derrilex Should be good I think. I'm currently blending some yirg and some oily kimel A on a per shot basis from 2 separate bags and despite the oily Kimel its pretty bloody good. Lots of choc to aid a slow withdrawal from the hond coe ^-^
Brett_H Just roasted a decaf blend 40/40/20 of Columbian Supremo Decaf, Brazil Dattera Opus 1 and El Salvador Los so ethingorother? Medium dark Also did a 40/40/20 of Ethiopian, Guatemalan and Blue Buttocks (technical term). Medium roast
UNM 12th Brazil/Sulawesi blend. 15th Honduras Finca el Filo 17th Tanza Tec, 30 sec into 2C. Quite a dark roast by my standards. Now I need to work out what to roast next. Post coming up in the blend suggestions thread shortly.
UNM Just weighed some bag end beans and, based on amount available and Brett H suggestions we have this evenings planned roast of: 100gram Java Ijen 64 Gram Guatemala COE 77 gram Costa Rica Tarrazu 25 gram Mexi Yeni Navan To be roasted a tad lighter than normal - shooting for a fairly quick initial ramp and slow finish roast of first crack plus 10 degrees. Guess which two bags I am finishing. I still seem unable to finish a bag of CS coffee for some reason. Maybe next week my CS bags will reduce. I only got 115 gram of yeni navan and 300 gram MM left. Pretty low on the Nyika too.
WotB Revisiting some of my aged greens. 1.5kg batch of 08 Eth Yirg roasted for filter. Needs a bit more rest, but tastes promising. Cupping notes on my blog.
Lacehim I roasted 600gm of 30% Java Ijen, 30%PNG Waghi AA, and 40% Brazil Sweet. Still got heaps left in my stash, just nothing inspires at the moment. I might have to order some more. 😉
UNM and another two roasts today. 200 gram Monsoon Malabar, 230 gram red icatu. Malabar roast a bit uneven, despite my careful temp management. The icatu is a nice easy roast though. about time to do another stock take.
derrilex Hmmm, do all TO's work on that fan principle ? I guess so. Might have a tinker, then again, I assume it is still under some form of warranty ? Gotta love the superblend AM
Jonty The last 48 hours has seen me roast the following: 300g of Tanzania Couds of August - pulled short of 2c 300g of Columbian Lot 3 - pulled between 1c and 2c for aero press 300g blend (60:40) of Ethiopian Guji:Blue Batak All roasted on 1IbP4C or D setting on the Behmor - a little less grunt but pushes roast around the 20min mark.

Love the look of the Guji/Batak blend. Please let us know how that one goes :thumb:
beanflying 3 roasts for the weekend for me. 1.3kg of Indian Tiger Mountain 1070g roasted 1.5kg of PNG Wahgi 1238g roasted 1kg of Yemen BI 816g roasted compared to our sponsor My Cuppas weekend total of 1.2T geez it's been pleasant :laugh:
mycuppa Despite the chilly weather in Melbourne, earlier this week I roasted a heat shield and a bearing and almost roasted myself being just moments away from what was likely to be a massive bonfire............and by later tonight just a tick over 4 pallets of green beans. Looking forward to Wednesday when it's all behind us - extreme insanity.
GaryatGala Talk about living on the edge of hell there MyCuppa ??? Mine is a small scale roast of... 120 gm Brazil Daterra Sweet Collection 100 gm Costa Rican Terrazu 160 gm Ethiopian Sidamo Mormora Plantation Gr3 Naturals 120 gm Sumatran Mandelhing Blue Batak Beans were sourced from BeanGreen. Roasted on the KKTO to a medium brown color. 3 minutes after 1st crack and cooled. Will cup in 4 days time and reveal how it fared. If i like it, it will be the mainstay of my bulk roasts for the restaurant. 😉 Gary at G
shape_shifter Righto here is Jonty's 500 gram peaberry challenge. I'll put up more details in the Behmor thread later tonight or tomorrow but here is a quick photo 🙂
