Finally roasted the Espresso Monkey Blend last night. Can't wait to try it!

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

Very nice. I plan on roasting some of that next weekend, depending on how much I have left by then.

I have overroasted some Bolivian Beneficio Buenaventura Lot 45 to a LV-V roast that I finally started drinking. It's not bad but I didn't want to roast it quite so much.

I also ended up overroasting some El Salvador Majajual - Tablon La Montana. Also probably LV-V. Ugh.

I need to turn my heat down some I think.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

Are you suppose to remove them?

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

absolutley!!

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

Remove what? I am missing something here.
Quakers? What are quakers?

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

They are the super light brown, almost Tan colored beans. They often times can add a bad or sour taste to the cup.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

I think I remember reading that they are beans that weren't fully ripe when picked. Is this true?

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

Yes, that is true. Check out the Glossary in the Library on the Sweet Marias page. Very helpful.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

Being OC, I pick out everything that doesn't look right. Including the quakers, underroasted and scorched. I use the max amount of beans in the FR, so I get a few scorched, every roast.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

Found it thanks, good info there!

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

Just did a small batch, of the Colombia Guzman, to city+:cf1

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

Roasted Moka Kadir last night, it smells amazing.
I gotta say this is the best smelling roast so far, not perfectly even roast though.
Can't wait to try it this weekend!

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

That is one of my favorite blends. You won't get that even of a roast, with the pre-roast blending of different coffees. Not usually anyways. There is gonna be some difference between the different kinds of beans. Also, if memory serves me well (and it often doesn't :confused:) there should be a fairly good amount of quakers in that blend.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

I pulled out about three quakers of a 1/3 pound.
Man the aroma alone has me excited!:tu

Brazil Cerrado Fazenda No-Name-O I did this 2 tone, half city+ for the nuttiness, half FC+ for the chocolate. Chocolate covered nuts sounded good to me :D First cupping on Sunday.
