Okay... New blend time: Guatemalan Antigua 150 Yirgacheffe Gr2 150 El Salvador Finca Argentina 250 Roasted to the first snaps of 2nd and smelling lovely only 12 hours post. Will let you know in a week. I'm chasing chocolate with aromatics that will sit nicely in milk. If it's good I'll call it the African Fiestas... If not you can call me loco!

Great job. Any residual coffee flavour in them?

GaryatGala

My mother once, and only once put them in the oven without sliting em. She opened the oven door to inspect them and they promptly exploded, covering her hair with pieces of shells and a :o look. Will have to give them a whirl and taste the results. Reckon they go well with coffee. Have you tried them steamed/boiled as well KK?

In Europe we used to have them boiled and roasted and will do a boiled batch next time around So far they taste just as I remembered KK Edit - here is a how to roast chestnuts link - http://m.wikihow.com/Roast-Chestnuts

Chestnuts - I remember sitting down with my grandfather watching him roast them in a cast iron skillet / frypan with perforated (drilled) holes in the base roasted over BBQ Coals I too, use a skillet but I don't have an old fashioned open BBQ so I settle for the webber first but if I couldn't be bothered then I use the trusty gas BBQ I'm of Sicilian background and My wife comes from Northern Italy and she's used to boiling them and you squeeze them and it comes out like a paste....freaked me out the first time I saw it.

Aaaah Yes, very fond memories of my time in Harrietville, the little fuel stop town right on the base of Mt Hotham. Anyway, my local mate Greg knew a field up the back of the town dump where a dozen or so very burdensome Chestnut trees grew. Course, all the locals knew about it, but that didn't matter, there were always plenty to go round. Roasting? Just like everything else, threw em in the Furphy... (Cast Iron Camp Oven for the gen w, x, y, and z) gotta love the Ol Furphy. Actually I'm sure one of my boys 'discovered it' in our recent house move. "Hey Dad, What's this rusty Ol steel bucket used for?" "Hell son, that's me Furphy... You take good care'o that... It's a classic" It'll take me another ten years to find it again now... :sigh Hey KK... That's using your noggin... Well done! Yasu KK!

So after my last roast, KK and Galumay suggested I might want to try roasting a little further into 2nd crack as on my initial attempts on the Behmore I had been a little scared of fires, and had stopped the roast a bit too early. This time I waited until 2nd crack was well under way before hitting the cool button. i'm not sure if I haven't gone too far in the other direction. Constructive criticism is appreciated. Bean: Colombian Volcan Galeras Supremo Roaster: Behmore 1600 Profile: 1lb P2 B 1st crack around 12min, and 2nd crack well established when the roast was stopped at 17 mins exactly. Please excuse the late night flash photography on a smartphone.
