Just opened a 2yr old vac packed brick of Daterra Yellow Bourbon, and it still smells like fresh crop. Spent the evening last night doing 1/2 dozen 100gm roasts trying to tame the sample roaster... This thing has so much heating energy compared to a normal roaster - it's a real struggle just trying to get a roast longer than six minutes! More cupping fun today.

cosmic_couple22 · December 2014

Feel your pain borat123 the sample roaster never translates a profile to the big roaster. Is it halogen or gas? Was the vac packed coffee fridged as well or just dark and dry spot? Chester

borat123 · December 2014

Just kept in a cupboard. IMO the vac packed bricks do a great job of suspending the coffee pretty much as it was the day it was packed. The roaster is a two barrel gas - not for profiling, but just testing samples. It has digital temp setting and burner control, but since the probe is measuring env temp it probably would have been better with a gas flow gauge and a bean temp probe... Early days yet but definitely a learning curve as none of the 'normal' numbers I'm used to make any sense on this one..

cosmic_couple22 · December 2014

So you only need to slow it a little bit, what are you aiming for yellowing at 3-4mins, FC around 7 and finishing at 9-10. Sure it won't take you long to be all over it. Gas gauge would be good so can you retrofit one? Chester

borat123 · December 2014

Yep, FC @ 7, then dump at 9-10, agtron 58, is pretty much SCAA standard for a sample roast. What I'm finding is unusually low drop temps, high airflow and low gas settings are needed to achieve the 'standard'. Definetly want a gas flow gauge as the flow knobs are very imprecise and the same position on both barrels can result in large differences in heat. I need to do some more playing and cupping before deciding if any other mods would be worthwhile.

cosmic_couple22 · December 2014

Don't think that approach is anything unusual really borat123 with such small batch sizes, I would see it as the norm from my own experiences, even translates that way when I do small batch on the SilverStreak. Keep us posted on your results and photos of upgrades. Chester

borat123 · December 2014

After blind cupping all six samples, it turns out the one that cupped the best was the one nearest to the 'standard' - which is not quite what I was expecting... More wooden boxes arriving soon..

Wet day on the coast, perfect day for some roasting. Chester

cosmic_couple22 · January 2015

So that was 2kg of Nicaragua Lupululo light/medium roast. 2kg Kenya Wakulima medium/dark roast 1kg Ninety+ Hachira2 medium roast Planned them with the roast designer V2 (check the calculating DTR thread) then roasted them using the coffee sweet software on the SilverStreak and the numbers really stacked up (will do some more testing but impressed thus far) Chester

C-man · January 2015

Looks like my Kenyan dark roast........cool

cosmic_couple22 · January 2015

That it is C-man, chewed a few beans and its super juicy. Agghhh cofffeeeee. Chester

cosmic_couple22 · January 2015

C-man · January 2015

We are on our way..........and yes you have to share.

Lacehim · January 2015

I did a 300gm roast of Rwanda beans. Turned out well I think. FC at 12 minutes and pulled just on the first few snaps of SC at 16 mins.

Brett H · January 2015

I did a 500gvroas in the KKTO yesterday of: 180 Yirgacheffe Gr2 180 Sumatran Toraja 140 Columbian Huila Looking forward to this... I loved the mocha Kenyan blends I'd did prior to Christmas but I'm all out of Yemen.

Koffee_Kosmo · January 2015

I purchased 4 different green bean origins Just roasting a small sample on the KKTO to trial them 600 grams Ethiopian Djimna

Koffee_Kosmo · January 2015

On the KKTO again 2 X 600 grams of Brazil Durat Special KK

Lacehim · January 2015

Had the final roast on the old TO on Monday. Roasted it a bit lighter based on what I picked up from Cosmic_couple with his hipster roasts for a change to my usual 2C roasts.

This was a 4 bean blend (Attempting to use up my leftovers) 30% Brazil Daterra Estate Opu 2 Exotic 30% PNG Wahgi AA 20% Tiger 20% Indo Sumatran Mandheling Kuda Mas

Dry_bean. · January 2015

Roasted 750 grams of Uganda Kisoro in the Coretto yesterday, stopped the roast @ the first snaps of second crack, nice even roast, approx level 9. "Uganda Kisoro AA. This high grown Ugandan Arabica is washed but not polished and then screened to a large AA size. In the roaster this is easy to roast but expect plenty of chaff. In the cup it has a subtle acidity and heavy body that made a great double espresso and a syrupy ristretto. This worked best for me roasted to a CS10 depth where the cocoa range of flavours dominate."

cosmic_couple22 · January 2015

Good job Lacehim, bring some out and lets run it through the Slayer. (smiley face would go here if we had them) (Stir here) (smiley face) Chester

cosmic_couple22 · January 2015

Man it was hot in the roastery today. Panama Hartmann Estate and Kenyan Wakulima was the order of the day.

C-man · January 2015

that's it, no Yirgy?

cosmic_couple22 · January 2015

Thursday will be collecting some new greens, so will check out what yirg is available then. Chester

C-man · January 2015

had the Kenyan and it was good, just need to rest a wile longer can't remember if I tried the Panama?

Koffee_Kosmo · January 2015

Today I roasted 3 times on the KKTO 600 gr of Indian Plantation AA And then - 1.2 kg in two 600 gr lots of Brazil Durat Special KK

cosmic_couple22 · January 2015

Different roast profile all together on the Kenyan C-man, don't think you have had the Panama.
