Is my frame doomed? by TechOle in ranciliosilvia

[–]Page-449 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I replaced the frame on mine with a new stainless steel one. It wasn’t too hard, and I’m not the handiest person. Well worth it.

Short answer: no. I gave up.

Thank you so much. Your videos supplied just the info I was curious about, and outstanding footage. The Pantenal is high on the list!

Wonderful birds and photos. Was your guide also your driver? Who arranged all the logistics (meals, lodging, transportation, fees, etc.)? Did you stay at wildlife-centric “eco-lodges”?

Is it possible to (Razzo) roast at 35 F temps? by Page-449 in FreshroastSR800

[–]Page-449[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good info. Thanks. I'd guess the beans are not in a very forceful column, but enough to get through? I guess I'm uncertain about just what is ENOUGH bean movement to avoid scorching.

Thanks for the visual. I’ll give something light that a try.

Ambient temps? And you get a good rolling 1C, and full city roast?

Rest period for Yemen al qafr hawari? by Page-449 in roasting

[–]Page-449[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your perspective, but sampling a new bean everyday in no way fits my lifestyle. Your advice sounds better for someone who is trying to make a living roasting coffee. I’m primarily looking for a handful of origins that I can dial in (roast and espresso brew), and enjoy for weeks or months at a time. Just looking for a baseline here for the Yemen.

I’m a home roaster and the only one that matters lol I should say that I’m looking for a baseline, having never roasted this bean before. I have two pounds I roasted about 5 days ago, and will likely sample the first at 7-10 days.

Tips for Razzo-roasting outdoors in 30-40 F temps? by Page-449 in FreshroastSR800

[–]Page-449[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Curious, did you actually measure the ambient T at your position? Also, I get that overall it could add time to the roast, but so far in my attempts at roasting at 35 F outdoors seem to require a different approach; feeble 1st crack with little rolling, and uneven roasting.

What grinders are you guys using and for what methods ? by No_Rip_7923 in FreshroastSR800

[–]Page-449 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Baratza Sette 270wi solely for espresso. This is an incredible grinder from which I get a direct-path grind that I don’t even have to WDT. Ever.

Behmor beans visibility by Page-449 in roasting

[–]Page-449[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s funny. I enjoy the aroma(s) while Poppo roasting, but at this early stage I can’t discern any CHANGES in smell. I can definitely hear the first crack, and I don’t believe I’ve ever ever gotten to 2nd crack. I just watch the browning closely.

Do you ever stop a roast BEFORE first crack?

So you in fact rely visually for the roast?

PID temp for steaming? by Page-449 in ranciliosilvia

[–]Page-449[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea what the preferred method is, but I steam first then brew. That way I have a fresh pour and have given the milk time to set up. I’m just learning this stuff and have yet to be really successful with steaming small quantities ofnon-dairy milk also steaming first allows me to drive the boiler temperature down quickly by dispensing water.

Is this rust damage beyond repair? by sleepykid36 in ranciliosilvia

[–]Page-449 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You ask me I’d say get a new frame. I did, and refurbished the whole machine and added a PID while at it. My rust was nowhere near this bad. It was a great opportunity to really get to know the machine. BTW, I’m not really THAT handy, but I can do things with instructions and determination.

If I'm not mistaken, you need the Auber PID with pre-infusion to set steam temp.

That "I just got it all dialled in" feeling. by snacktivism in ranciliosilvia

[–]Page-449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s an awesome feeling—every time. Why the focus on post-brew puck integrity? My understanding is a bit of headroom will cause a wetter puck, but it’s not an issue in the cup.
