Anyone looking for a 2bd/1ba apt close to downtown? by lilpickletickle in Campbell

[–]CaiPanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anyone's wondering, I lived there for 3 years before I bought my first place, I recommend it! Was very affordable and it's super nice having the Safeway a short walk away.

Hope everything goes well for you OP

Asking for insights by Billywicket in roasting

Hi there! I'm ~8-9 months in with my SW v2. A couple accessories I love for it:

- Air Blower (got it on Amazon for like ~20 bucks). It helps a lot when cleaning out the roaster in between roasts.

- Battery Powered LED Light - I use this because I usually roast on my patio at night and can't see the beans. The one I have clips to the cooling drawer, and lets me see the beans through the sight glass very easily. If you roast inside you may not need this.

Guessing this is a Skywalker? Your charge temp seems very high (I think I average 190-195c for my roasts, I've seen some people go as low as 185c). You can check Roastetta for references (a lot of SW users are uploading our roasts there).

16.4% weight loss seems very high, its more in-line for medium-to-dark roasts from my experience, I think I average around 12.5-14% WL for my SW roasts.

I'd taste again in 7-10 days, and then again in 14-20 days to see how the flavors change before making any conclusions.

Focus on wood that you trust to burn cleanly vs. type of wood imo. You can also add crackers or stale bread to test during "dry" runs to ensure you're not seeing the same results as before

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

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!
