I've just found that (to my taste) the one or five beans that end up two shades lighter (I'm not talking about the beans that just don't roast) don't really make much of a difference in a 1/2lb lot. I've left them in for a couple of cups/pots and then picked them out for the remainder plenty of times... Not enough difference (to my tastes), so I've given up worrying unless they are still yellow or really light brown.

People who know better than me say that you need to take out any abnormal beans post-roast for the best flavors. I'm not suggesting anyone do otherwise & agree that they are right... Just sharing that it doesn't seem to make much difference to me. YMMV

I just roasted 1/2lb of El Salvador Las Mercedes Pepinal 1... Smells fantastic, so I'm looking forward to tomorrows cup!

Looks great! Full city?

Try collecting a batch of them and make a cup of coffee form them. Betcha it tastes like crap.

Got it! I'll keep picking

I loved that one. Especially after 4-5 days. It seemed to be better with more rest IMO.

Sweet!

Went far darker than they recommend, but we will see how it tastes.

Blak Smyth · 03-07-2012, 06:22 AM

A little lighter than last time, looks great. It is right where I wanted it.

Picked up a West Bend Poppery II and then ordered an 8# sampler from Sweet Marias. Let the roasting begin.

Yemen Mokha Ismaili

half City+ - FC, half FC+, this will rest 6 days and be sampled when I get back from Phoenix. I choose Yemen, because it's been said, it really benifits, from extra rest. We will see.

I roasted that one this morning

half city+, half FC+ cupping Thurs

Mr B · 03-13-2012, 10:21 AM

Nice Selection.

ApexAZ · 03-13-2012, 11:14 AM

I really screwed up a roast of beans from Bolivia. I ran out of propane halfway through a roast and during my attempt to try and get the flame lit and then ultimately bringing them inside to finish off on the stove, many of the beans got scorched. I picked out the ones that were blackened, but overall the coffee sucks. Blech.

forgop · 03-17-2012, 05:29 PM

My first batch of home roasted coffee-Ethopia Limu Jimma-Alaga Sekala. Will grind and brew in the morning.

I really have no idea what I'm doing. I just watched the video on Sweet Maria's and hope it turns out ok.
