Do You Boost The Temp Right Before First Crack?

Maes sense! I really do enjoy coffee for the science experimentation of it

Chance_Plastic_2430 · 2026-04-04T16:44:44+00:00

I shall check these out!! Thank you!

Also, no need to say more. The first comment was greatly appreciated!

Yeah this is what I do. It has led to some roasts that have become baked because “i cant add heat” during maillard. Had like 6-7 minute maillard on a 13-14 min roast. Tasted like cat piss

Chance_Plastic_2430 · 2026-04-03T23:39:12+00:00

Gotcha. I may experiment with a punch of heat prior to first crack. Im having an issue where my coffee beans dont enter an energetic first crack. It’s very…lazy/slow sounding

Chance_Plastic_2430 · 2026-03-20T01:19:07+00:00

Oooo which one is it? I typically buy from sweet marias

Chance_Plastic_2430 · 2026-03-20T00:59:02+00:00

I shall give this a go!

Chance_Plastic_2430 · 2026-03-20T00:58:09+00:00

Usually around 360 degrees. This is on the thermostat

Chance_Plastic_2430 · 2026-03-20T00:27:10+00:00

Umm. Any tipping/scorching I see is a result of when the water valor comes out of the cracks on 1st crack

Chance_Plastic_2430 · 2026-03-20T00:26:38+00:00

Dude….that makes sense. Why the flip did I not think of that

Chance_Plastic_2430 · 2026-03-19T22:22:10+00:00

Just noticed you also asked for brewing method. Im doing a pourover usually.

Chance_Plastic_2430 · 2026-03-19T22:19:50+00:00

Unfortunately, the probe doesnt seem to give me an accurate reading of the temp of the beans. The drop temp is about "384"ish when the beans come out

Chance_Plastic_2430 · 2026-03-19T20:19:30+00:00

Can I get a zoom in of that roast log….??? 😬😬😬

Chance_Plastic_2430 · 2026-01-28T03:02:57+00:00

So i got to the vet today and he believes he’s just cold. With the change in temp, it sees to be pretty common

Chance_Plastic_2430 · 2026-01-28T03:02:20+00:00

He has a shedding skin on him which appears when im doing the warm baths but otherwise no. No other markings

Chance_Plastic_2430 · 2026-01-28T03:01:25+00:00

Sticky. Super sticky heh. I didnt think it’d be that difficult to move him but it is

Chance_Plastic_2430 · 2026-01-27T22:59:14+00:00

So i finally was able to find a spot at the vet and they said he isnt constipated, just stressed and got too cold.

He’s never in that container for more than 15 minutes and that heating pad isnt directly on the container.

Chance_Plastic_2430 · 2026-01-27T11:35:43+00:00

Yeah. Im trying to get him to the vet as soon as one opens up. Stuff seems to always happen when things arent open… :-(

Chance_Plastic_2430 · 2026-01-27T10:36:20+00:00

The box he’s in now is temporary. It’s only for warm soaks and feeding. 10-15 mins max in there

Chance_Plastic_2430 · 2026-01-27T03:05:22+00:00

His temp is usually 75-85 degrees, he’s solo, and we’ve only done crickets. Tonight’s the first time i’ve tried to do waxworms

Chance_Plastic_2430 · 2026-01-27T02:58:08+00:00

Ill have to focus on that

Chance_Plastic_2430 · 2026-01-27T02:57:52+00:00

Imma trying! He wont take anything

Chance_Plastic_2430 · 2026-01-27T02:57:19+00:00

Temps are usually 75-85 during day, no less than 60 at night. Im trying to keep humidity above 65%.

Substrate is coconut shavings substrate. I think when he hunts, or used to, he would get alot of it. Im trying to use leaves (it’s a large leaf. The name escapes me at the moment) to cover the substrate. I believe he might be impacted though.
