From what I read it will roast slightly uneven, as is true with most Indonesians. I stopped it half way throughg the 2nd crack because the kids were screaming it was to smoky and the mamma said stop so I couldn't fully do what I wanted with it. I use a FR 300

Re: What are you roasting today?
 
Just curious, what level roast were you shooting for? I use the FR500

Possibly too many beans in the roaster? Overfilling will lead to uneven roasts too.

That is very true. You prolly don't wanna go to much past 10 secs into 2nd crack, that will already be a Full City+ roast.
And if you are roasting indoors, I do it directly under the hood for the stove. You are gonna get a LOT of smoke, going deep into 2nd crack.

While working from home today, I did manage to sneak out to the patio around 5PM this evening (about 81*) and roast a couple of small 3.5oz batches of Ethiopia FTO Sidama - Shilcho Coop:

Solid FC+ I think with each roast timed at 6min 30sec prior to cooling off... I sure enjoy popping a few beans in my mouth following the cool down while they are still room temperature for a sampling taste:tu

Brent, good weather outside when I roasted the El Savador in the Poppery II.

I don't know about you, but I find with all of the beans I've roasted to date, there is a long lag-time between the end of the 1st crack and the almost slight beginnings of the 2nd crack. An almost eerie silence. At the end of the silence period, I'll hear a couple of 2nd cracks, but its not till later when the 2nd cracks actually pick up their pace.

So, I'm usually counting from around 10 to 20 seconds into the 2nd crack prior to pulling the plug on the Poppery II and cooling the beans.

In essence, at 7 min into roasting the El Salvador, the plug was pulled.

Nonetheless, we enjoyed some good coffee on Easter Day which all seemed to enjoy, which includes now as I write this...

Mr B 04-25-2011 11:44 AM
Re: What are you roasting today?
 
Ya, every popper is different. Even within the same brand and model. I have some that get super hot but the blower fan is weak and I have to stir almost the entire time. Others have a strong blower but do not get hot enough so I put the popper in a box and run another popper, blowing hot air into the box to increas the temp in the other popper. It might sound like a pain but I have a system and it works. I like to alternate between poppers while one cools in front of a fan.
