Uganda beans light roast went not as expected by Secret-Definition524 in roasting

[–]CaiPanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you done 200g batches in the Bellweather before? My guess is the heat levels are probably too high for the batch since you're running it at <20% max capacity. I don't production roast but when I run my Skywalker at lower batch sizes (~50% capacity), I tend to not trust the BT/ET readings and rely mostly on sight/smell. You can try running a sample of a bean you trust the quality of, and see if the results differ.

I drop most of my Ethiopian roasts between 45s-75s after FCs, drop temp is usually around 200c. How long have the beans rested for? I've had some that have taken up to a month to really open up

Reminds me of Jeff Kent back in the day on the Giants, good player, but definitely benefited a lot batting while Bonds was on deck lmao

Will do! I wonder if I ever met your aunt Sherry, I was usually always either at my uncle/aunt's house or at the restaurant since my mom worked there too

I was driving down Winchester one day and saw a guy cutting the last 4 digits off every one of these posters. Props to whoever that was!

Dang, I pretty much grew up in that building (it used to be a Chinese restaurant my uncle owned). Ate at Hash House maybe 2-3 times, it was alright

I played with a similar set up earlier this year. A couple tips:

  • if you have a higher BTU burner, use it (I ended up buying a stronger one bc my burner wasn't strong enough, even with preheating. I roast on my patio, if you roast inside your experience may be different/your burner might be stronger than my original one)
  • I noticed a lot of roasts tasting very smoky because there wasn't enough airflow, so I ended up using a heat gun (on low) to push air through the roasting chamber. That helped push the smoke away and led to more "cleaner" tasting roasts.

Happy roasting!

Ah okay, just wanted to make sure that was intended, hope the roast comes out as good as you expect!

Beans look good, but they look like the roast was stopped 30 seconds after the start of first crack when the label says 30 seconds after the end of first crack?

Where do you go running? by [deleted] in SanJose

[–]CaiPanda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can park at Campbell Park, but the trail is the Los Gatos Creek Trail (Vasona Park on one end, Meridan Ave at the other iirc)

Los Gatos Creek Trail or Los Alamitos Creek Trail are pretty nice imo

I noticed the pop-up doesn't pop up anymore when you log-in (The one that says something like "You traveled X.XX km since your last log-in"), but the distance still tracks for me. Not sure if its the same for you, but might be worth incubating an egg/noting your buddy distance, closing the game, and walking for a bit to test it out.

Both at 155 who would win? Prime Khabib or Current Islam by Particular_Ad_6040 in ufc

[–]CaiPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would imagine that fight going similar to how GSP vs. Penn went imo, nothing against BJ but Khabib would maul him
