I will definitely check the software out. Thanks for the suggestion! Nice setup btw.

Now waiting for my thermometer to arrived.  nod.gif

Currently,  I am using a steel kitchen thermometer to measure the drum internal temp ( BT? or CT?) to about 160c-200c

Just tested roasting some green beans few times,  definitely better than hand cranking for 10 - 15 minutes.

Oooo, careful, first crack is roughly 200C and with a little development temp, your roast will get to 210-215 before dump

Hi all, silent reader here. I'm looking for ~1kg inexpensive Brazilians as sacrificial input for my self-learning shenanigans. Will be starting off with a pop corn popper for now.

Does anyone have a stash that you're willing to share? By share i mean sell laugh.gif

I stay in Sri Petaling, work in KL.
Nice to see a lot of people from Klang Valley.
How do you trade? By mail or COD?

Aiks, I'm in Penang. Running a roastery there
In this case will need to be using delivery

Hi Squall, this will be my first baby step to roasting. I'm planning to use the RM70 China-made popper for a start.
Since I'm staying in condo venting out smoke is quickly a growing concern, something I need to address ASAP if I intent to make this a long term hobby.

Would help if you are good with electricals
If possible, split out the power source going to the fan and heater then route the line to heat through a dimmer so you can control the heat

The fan is usually running on DC and actually goes through an additional AC->DC converter inside. So it's possible to power the fan with a separate source

What I find in default popcorn roasters is the heat is way too high so you can't roast more than 60g of coffee at a time. The lack of agitation will burn the bottom before anything else happens

Tip:
You won't be able to do a good light roast on it without mods so don't even bother. Can try for academic purposes though smile.gif
So roast to at least end of 1C + 30sec

Let's talk a little about light roasts.... So far the lightest I've done successfully is around 15c above 1C. I feel uncomfortable doing anything lighter because 1C would be still going.

Any suggestions?

15C is interesting
My light roasts are around 5-6C above 1C

Wow! That's really light!

What is your RoR going into 1C?
What is your RoR on drop?
Roughly how long and % development (if you use this metric at all)
1C not over, right?
*
Can't remember off my head but in 1C it's like 2-3/min
% development for light roast filter is 11-15%, espresso about 18-20%
1C is usually around 1min to 1min30s

I guess most discussions happen in the Coffee Lover's thread.

Will get the chance to roast 2kg of Ethiopian Worka Wuri WBC Berg Competition customized.
1kg Natural and 1kg Washed. Can't wait for the green beans to reach me by January.

Just did the natural.
It's good smile.gif
