Re: What are you roasting today?
Just finished roasting something different, Sweet Maria's Shanga Babor SWP Decaf Blend, took it to FC. SM's description on this sounds excellent, thought I'd give it a try. Who knows, maybe can start drinking coffee in the evenings

Re: What are you roasting today?
I have been thinking the same thing, when I crave a good cup in the evening.

Re: What are you roasting today?
Roasting decaf sure is different though. I followed normal procedure, took this just to the start of 2nd and it came out pretty dark with some oil spots, which I rarely see this soon after a roast. I may cup this tomorrow afternoon, just to see

Re: What are you roasting today?
I just did some reading, about roasting decaf, on SM forum. I think I'm gonna be okay, but next time I will slow the roast down some. The problem appears to be, the outside roasts faster than the inside and you get under roasted even though the outside looks good. I heard 2nd crack start, on both batches, so I should be alright, if just a bit over roasted.

Re: What are you roasting today?
I have, it's very good. I think I posted in "what are you drinking." I did post #659.
It will be better the next time with a slower, more even roast. Today I roasted Costa Rica Finca Bella Vista to FC.

Re: What are you roasting today?
Just brewed and am having a cup of the Shanga Babor Roasted 6 days ago, nice sweetness, some chocolate. Wouldn't know this is decaf, that's for sure. I am excited to do this "right" next time.

Roasting some Costa Rica El Tigre.
Question, how many roast back to back do you do? I have the Nesco roaster.

Re: What are you roasting today?
My roaster only does small roasts well (Nesco). I am also roasting for two other BOTL.
During the week one roast lasts me about three days. I'm pretty sure this was the monkey blend. It never looks the same on my iPhone camera.

Re: What are you roasting today?
I'm thinking I may start home roasting. Been buying from a local roaster, a lb at a time. But I don't go through it fast enough to ensure it stays the freshest. Was just reading the DIY guides on Sweet Maria's. Seems pretty easy if I can find a popper for cheap and I can do small batches which will suit me just fine.
And does anyone know the regulations on bringing back green beans from outside the country? I'm going to Brazil and my boss told me about a contact at the plant I'm going to who's family also owns a coffee plantation.
