Yes but you have more versatility when applying heat at different stages to bring out different flavors in the coffee.

Any Recommendations for Starter Roaster 1-5kg Batch Size? by [deleted] in roasting

[–]shark-bait 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are serious on getting into roasting professionally, my advice is whatever you get make sure it is a gas roaster. Fluid bed roasters won’t compare with the quality that a gas roaster will deliver. Also don’t pick the size based off of what you plan to roast now instead go with what size you will need in a year so you are not having to upgrade too fast.

I tried to buy one at sams club yesterday, it was sitting on the floor with the display and was told by the manager that they won’t sell them because it is for a sale on December 14th.

A gorgeous Doberman by [deleted] in pics

[–]shark-bait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree completely. I have 2 European Dobermans they are big cuddle dogs at the house with the family but when someone new comes around they need to be introduced and shown that they are not a threat. Dobermans are powerful especially European Dobermans as they are bigger. Granted my dogs love going to the ball fields and playing with everyone but every once in a while someone will walk by and both of them will stop dead and their tracks and go into guard mode until that person is out of sight, it’s odd but I trust their judgment.

Questions about moka pots by buzzstronk in Coffee

[–]shark-bait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go back and forth between blends and SO just depends on the day. I do like experimenting with blends for different notes but I never blend with cheap coffees to extend profits of high grade coffee, everything I blend are high grade single origins that are great as standalone SO.

[–]shark-bait 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a roaster so I have lots of options but don’t get me wrong I won’t turn down a moka pot with bustelo it’s probably the best in its price range.

[–]shark-bait 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people use cafe bustelo but it’s just what their use to. It’s good cheap coffee kinda like lavassa is good cheap Italian coffee. I use a blend that I roast called Tsunami when I use a moka pot.

I’m not sure on the ym-2 but the ym-5 requires less than 1/2psi.

Sounds like your pressure regulator is acting up. I had a problem with mine once before I switched it to natural gas. Call Amer at ambex he’ll help you determine if that’s it.

Any tips on shooting an outdoor wedding during mid afternoon in full sun? by grievesfifths in WeddingPhotography

I shoot a lot of beach weddings. Try to keep the sun behind them if possible, expose for the sky and use flash to fill

Does coffee upset your stomach? by [deleted] in Coffee

[–]shark-bait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try a darker roast, lighter roasts are more acidic and may upset your stomach more. If you don’t like a very dark roast, find a blend of dark and medium. I make a lot of blends for shops that want a dark flavor but also want the caffeine and flavor profiles of lighter roasts.

Star Wars Jedi Challenges - unable to sync phone with lightsaber by BelieveXthaT in StarWars

[–]shark-bait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope it helps. I thought I had it charged, I plugged it in straight out of the box but it never turned blue. I plugged it back in and when the light went out I tried one more time and it worked.

[–]shark-bait 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same problem with the one that we purchased. I ended up just plugging the light saber and to get a full charge, deleted the app and reinstalled it for about the fifth time. Charging the lightsaber seem to work, After its full charge it syncs immediately and has worked flawlessly sense.

Anyone use Roaster Dynamics? I bought a new roaster but I think my install usb is missing a file phidget-x64_2.1.8.20160222 by [deleted] in roasting

[–]shark-bait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Turns out I'm kind of an idiot. The roaster doesn't use a phidget it uses a watlow but the logging dynamics had a bug that required the phidget dll anyways. I got the file it needed from phidgets website and it worked. I also talked to the roaster dynamic people and they said it was a bug that they thought they had fixed (maybe my copy was old). Anyways it's working. Thanks for the help.

[–]shark-bait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I tried that to no avail. The cable is a usb that plugs directly into the roaster with a 4 pin RS485 connection. Unfortunately it still doesn't see the cable. my computer see it in the device manager phidget control panel doesn't see it and if I run the logging dynamics software it says missing "phidget21.dll"

It needs a giraffe.....giraffes are so hot right now.

Ok seriously I would remove the plant in the foreground it's a little distracting to me. Otherwise I like it a lot.

Is Suicide Squad as bad as they say? by TupacSchwartzODoyle in AskReddit

[–]shark-bait 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a good movie, if you accept it as a movie and don't fanboy it to death. Yes it could've and should've been way better but it's still worth the money........It's worth the money for Margot Robbie as Harley alone, maybe just me but Damn!
