Hi Rob, Stanley here again. I just realise you never touch Air speed from during the roasting process through the end. what air speed did you set? 50 or what?
Thank you for sharing. If I roast in the garage and sell it online, do you think the FDA, DOH or the city will not prevent me. They may see it not standard roasting area for business. I have a medium size dog walks around the house.
When you’re starting out you have to check with your city. Most of the roasters I know start out in the shed or garage. Even the guy who owns blue bottle started in his garage. It’s really about having enough space and doing what you can until your business grows enough for you to afford a larger facility.
Nice vid! I was wondering how come you only make gas adjustments? Do you basically just keep your air flow the same and just change the gas/ air ratio?
It is very obvious, that your opinon on the tryer will be changed in future- when you will recognize, that you roast coffee and not a profile. Experienced roasters always have an eye on both- the beans and Artisan.Good luck and stay happy!
From my experience with this particular Roaster, using the trier only has a negative affect on the being temperature. There’s quite a bit of a dip every time I use the dryer. Now that might be a direct relation to the temperature probe inside the drum, but I haven’t had a chance to upgrade to a more accurate bean probe. I do keep an eye on the team color through the looking glass on the trap door, which I find to be extremely helpful. There are occasions where I will use the trier, and yes it is during the early stages of creating a new bean profile.
Great video

For this roast I think I started at 40 and after FC I upped it to 50 to adjust for the moisture release.

@@ocdcoffeeclub4796 Thank you!
@@ocdcoffeeclub4796 A quick question. Do I need a FDA registration number to roast coffee out in the shed or garage to sell online?
Nice vid! I was wondering how come you only make gas adjustments? Do you basically just keep your air flow the same and just change the gas/ air ratio?
I make air adjustments basiclaly during all roasts. Not sure if you missed it, but it's most often right before or right after fc.
