What are you roasting today? - Page 23

Chainsaw13 · 03-18-2012, 02:18 PM

Roasted some SM's Monkey Blend and some Ethiopia Illubabor. These were part of my recent order. Also got the Brazilian Fazenda No-Name-O,
India Poabs Organic Seethargundu Estate and Guatemalian Acatenango - Finca Le Soledad.

Roasted some Panama Elida Natural - Elida Reserve, 50-50% city+ and FC+ Hoping for big rum flavor on Wed.

Chainsaw13 · 03-19-2012, 08:45 PM

Did a couple more batches today to keep fine tuning the technique. Much better results.

Some SM's Brazilian No-Name-O just into 2nd crack (FC+ if I read their descriptions right). Can't wait to try this come Wednesday.

Before the Brazilian, I sacrificed some Burundi, letting it go all the way into 2nd crack. I wanted to see how long it took. Started around the 7:30 mark for 2nd crack and kept going for some time. I don't think it'll be drinkable, but you never know. I"m not throwing it away yet.

I wouldn't discard the 2nd one so fast. Looks just like how I roast my Brazilian beans, although I don't have experience with Barundi.

Some of Sweet Maria's roasting notes would lead you to believe that 2nd crack is some horrible mistake and should be avoided.

I completely disagree and usually go 20 seconds into second crack on the blends I like to roast.

From the picture the bottom one looks to be maybe FC++ or maybe light Vienna. Give it 2-3 days rest and give it a try.

What brewing method would you suggest? I currently have a FP, Moka pot and a Mukka pot.

Chainsaw13 · 03-20-2012, 11:30 AM

Yea, I"m holding onto it and will try it out. Who knows. I took it well into 2nd crack, which started around the 8min mark. I kept it going until the 11min mark just to see how long second crack would take. I could still hear pops going on at that point but figured it was time to pull the plug.

The batch of Brazilian hit 2nd crack right around 7min and I pulled it 20 seconds after that.

Mr B · 03-20-2012, 12:23 PM

I have converted to a French Press and that is all I use.
Maybe others might chime in, but for me the press is the way to go.

Blak Smyth · 03-20-2012, 12:24 PM

I only use the FP, but it is all I have tried.

Chainsaw13 · 03-20-2012, 12:31 PM

The FP is my standard too, the others are for espresso based drinks. Going to try some Monkey Blend in the moka pot tonight. Was excellent in the FP this morning.

Chainsaw13 · 03-21-2012, 06:38 PM

One 65g batch of India Poabs Organic Seethargundu Estate to City+

Never heard of them Shane, but then I'm still just getting into this craft.

Going to a local farmers market tomorrow morning. Germack nut company has their new store up and running and has a section dedicated to just coffee. I heard they have green coffee too. Gonna check it out.

BSB · 03-25-2012, 08:30 AM

Colombia Tolima - Einar Ortiz Microlot, with just about 30gr. of Felix Guzman micro, to fill it out. I was just that much short. One is lemony, the other very sweet. Looking forward to cupping on Tues.

forgop · 03-31-2012, 08:10 PM

Has anyone ever re-roasted as in a batch was lighter than you desired and wanted to go darker after tasting how it turned out?

I asked the same thing about... ehh.. Couple months back. No. I was told you can't and shouldn't do it.

I went with what was answered and didn't. If you have time, There are better reason in the back pages and to why. I asked in this thread.. Not sure what page or even close.

ashtonlady · 03-31-2012, 09:58 PM

This is a good answer with a good reason.
Hope this helps.
