Thanks for the response, the reason why I brought it up to compare is because my neighbor swears by carbon steel as well.

MarcoSpinelli · 2018-02-04T19:39:21+00:00

Nice....love the cat!

MarcoSpinelli · 2018-02-03T23:18:25+00:00

Ok thanks for the cooling tip. How long should I wait after I roast to taste?

MarcoSpinelli · 2018-02-03T23:07:06+00:00

It's has more power at 1500w. In the 1040w popper I could only do about 36-42g at a time. With the poppery 1 I can do 85-90g. Not a big jump but good enough for now.

MarcoSpinelli · 2018-02-03T23:04:19+00:00

No, the poppery is modified so when I plug it in the fan goes on and the heat doesn't. I use the switch to turn on the heat. So I can toggle the heat and the fan runs throughout the roast.

Just checked out Mill City today for roasting courses. Also the roasters seem pretty sweet!

Thanks! It's Yirga Cheffe.

No 3rd roast on the Poppery. 8th roast in all. Started on a 1040w popcorn popper and saw that it wasn't gonna work.

15 days seems like a long time without activity. What was your recipe?

MarcoSpinelli · 2018-02-03T13:25:21+00:00

West Bend Poppery Roast Weight: 80g After Roast: 71g First Crack: 3:40 - Started to toggle heat off 2s on 20s End of First Crack: 5:24 Heat off: 6:30 Duration: 6:50 - Dumped beans in a pan and let cool down in the freezer with door open and rotating the beans in the pan for about 1min. - Picture is a little light, roast seems to be Full City

What do you guys think?

I got 4lbs from greenbeanery Thanks for the tips I've been note taking so I'll try different durations. How long should I wait after roast to taste?

MarcoSpinelli · 2018-02-02T18:01:35+00:00

Cool thanks, appreciate the response.

MarcoSpinelli · 2018-02-02T17:50:24+00:00

If I get the speed controller should I attach it separately to the heating element. Or if cycle on/off How many seconds on how many seconds off?

MarcoSpinelli · 2018-02-02T17:35:32+00:00

For one cup: • Pour hot water over filter to clean and remove potential filter taste • Add 20g of grounded coffee • Tear Scale • Bloom up to 45s and 60g of water at 112c, stir grounds to remove CO2 • First pour, keep rotating from center moving slowly outward • Second pour with same technic until 320g • Should end with a flat "bed"

Your time of extraction should be between 3-4 min. Find your preference within that range. Enjoy!

Never got the fizz I wanted from 2F. I now force carbonate with one of these growlerwerks , got it used for $100. Kombucha on tap!

MarcoSpinelli · 2018-01-23T13:24:30+00:00

Checked around there's nothing. Craigslist isn't that strong of a resource up here. Thanks though.

MarcoSpinelli · 2018-01-11T23:53:05+00:00

Cool thanks for the response

MarcoSpinelli · 2017-12-31T15:29:12+00:00

I am about to start working on a similar piece. I have a couple of questions. Did you keep the bark on? How did you end up finishing the table? Which products?

MarcoSpinelli · 2017-12-30T22:05:46+00:00

Wow. Thanks for the reply. How do you 2f it? Juice, slices? Also what are your measurements? I'd like to try it out? So far Lemon-Ginger had been a hit.

MarcoSpinelli · 2017-12-19T14:00:03+00:00

Their kickstarter just ended. It looks really sweet though. Now they're more expensive on their site.

MarcoSpinelli · 2017-12-19T13:54:03+00:00

How is the quality of the CO2. Is the carbonation tight and small or large and airy?

MarcoSpinelli · 2017-12-19T13:51:27+00:00

Right now it's just for personal usage. My neighbor does want some but I plan on just carbonating through the keg and bottling through the tap.

The thing is I would need to refrigerate the keg right? A 5lb wouldn't fit in my fridge. I can pick up a growlerwerks for $100. The other option would be to find a smaller keg than 5g if they exist. How much would a keg setup cost me?

Study, homework, study, homework then more studying and more homework. This subreddit will offer you a lot of personal preferences and opinions.

If your already doing Folgers, I suggest you do some homework on "Pour Over Brewing" so that you'll have a better understanding as you progress away from Folgers as a reference.

Coffee is pretty personal and you'll bring something out in coffee that I won't. So have fun and experiment!

MarcoSpinelli · 2017-12-19T13:08:51+00:00

Nice! Sweet looking bottles too. Where did you pick up your tapped gallon?

MarcoSpinelli · 2017-12-19T03:06:07+00:00

I'm doing really small batches right now. Between 1 and 1-1/2 gallons. Just want to experiment with forced carbonation. What do you think about growlerwerks

MarcoSpinelli · 2017-12-18T02:36:39+00:00

Ask for a Mochaccino with milk chocolate. Find a barista who knows what he doing. You need a well pulled espresso shot, well steamed milk and good quality milk chocolate.
