I got to tell ya....putting hot bean in a enclosed basket of some kind =
then turn on a electric leaf blower, you'll have cold beans in a couple =
of seconds!! Anybody know how to roast 3oz. of beans in a Rosto, I tried =
it today, half ended up in the cuff collector. Taking out the heater =
fuse in a Rosto roaster, would that damage other parts or just run =
normally with the safety fuse.....or would there be more juice going to =
the heater, or what ever?

Last weekend I went to Java Jerry's and he has a great setup for cooling the beans off a fan in a box with a screen on top. Anyway that got me thinking... I roast in my backyard sometimes so what I did today was to start tossing the beans between the 2 colanders and walk over to the Central A/C unit holding the beans over the unit while it is running I cooled off the beans in about 15 sec. (just keep it high enough as to not have the beans jump out of the bowl) Just a outside the box thought for the group.... Dennis |
I do sort of the same, but in front of the kitchen hood exhaust, it is indeed a great cooling method. Cheers Juan M. 2006/8/11, Dennis & Marjorie True : <Snip> |
Java Jerry's set up is actually a pretty standard one. I also did the AC unit thing a few times but I was able to build a fan cooling system for $2= 0 and I got two extra colanders for the kitchen in the bargain. ($10 for the fan and $10 for the 3 colander set free shipping from Bed, Bath and Beyond.) The AC unit was once again relegated to a single-purpose device. On 8/12/06, Juan M.

Ditto. Randomly rambling through Barnes & Noble's, I came across the book, bought it, and here I am. It's the only book I ever purchased on coffee or homeroasting. Everything else that I've learned (including the limitations of David's book) I learned here and the SM site. Oh, and outside on my deck. Sometimes our introduction to a new wonder comes from a less than wonderful beginning. My introduction to American craft beers was from Jim Koch (Boston Brewing Co.; Sam Adams), probably considered by homebrewers to be the Ken David of beer. Ok, the mega-rich version. But yeah, a better marketer than brewer.
