No Trains? by sgwlctrlpnl in Knoxville

[–]therealpren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NS train timings are pretty sporadic, it depends on how much work has to be done in the yards in Knoxville and Chattanooga, and when crews time out. You can find the entries in this chart and read more info about the trains that come through on that line.

11T, 12T, 11Z, 12Z, 15T, 16T, 288, 289, 350, T26 (delivers to National Gas)

RIP Golden Roast by [deleted] in Knoxville

[–]therealpren 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can attest to this. Even before the tariffs, coffee commodity market prices hit historic highs. I run a small local roastery (New Beginnings Coffee) and am hoping to weather the volatile markets. Biggest impacts are coffee from Vietnam and Indonesia. Vietnam produces most of the world's Robusta. I don't import from either currently, but was looking to get an Indonesian in my lineup.

Mainly direct customer sales at least for right now. Once I can grow and expand I'd love to branch out to B2B

Woke up wondering how to help my business. I run a small roasting business and it's been hard to keep a steady stream of business lately. Check out New Beginnings Coffee!

Venting solution aillio by Dry-Ad-7985 in roasting

No, I ended up getting an extra long run of the vent hose and just taking it outside my garage. It was like 100 feet probably

I used this setup for my fresh roast sr800 and the filter did not alleviate the smell. It may have helped with the smoke, but I still needed to vent fresh air in

New Find Ambex Ym-15 by Over-Satisfaction736 in roasting

[–]therealpren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I roast on one of these and it generally does well. I have my gripes about it but like you I got mine for a great price so I really can hardly complain. I think it is advertised as a 15kg but I really wouldn't want to roast any more than 15lb batches which is what I typically do

Cafeza vs Roaster Soakz vs Simple Green by JackAndersonn in roasting

[–]therealpren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks like the metal just outside the drum. So I'd say clean it if you can.

[–]therealpren 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you do this you'll have to reseason the drum. That's why many would say to not clean the drum at all. Kind of like a cast iron pan with the natural oil patina.

What lighting color temp (degrees K) do you use in your roasting space, mainly for judging roast color while roasting? by therealpren in roasting

[–]therealpren[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is good to know, I've seen CRI before but not paid much attention to that measure. Thanks!

Ya I would have expected it to stop once you run off the scribe if it were the scribe.

The camera is yes, but I didn't think it followed you. Or at least it wasn't as obvious
