Show Off your Roaster

[J.Jirehs Roaster]

When you are roasting beans from the southern hemisphere, make sure the drum is rotating counterclockwise.  That's how the beans like it, and you'll get moar flavor out of them.

thats why you like the SC/TO... you can change the direction easily..

Nice looking install (hope that door is not the one you bring full bags of coffee in through

How many kilos will that sucker do?

Nice!  Did you do the install yourself?  How about the venting?

[coffeefanaddict]

I did the install with the help of a handyman. We really took our time to get it right. I found the black doublewall pipe on craigslist for 100 bucks then bought the kit for the roof from home depot and above that is 6 feet of triplewall.
The door is kind of an optical illusion. It opens all the way and there is good room to walk past. I carry all my club flat rate boxes through the garage door behind. I look forward to the time when I carry some full bags through though.
My brother and I are going up to Diedrich manufacturing next month for some education. I have done about  30 roasts on it so far.
It will do 7 pounds but I think it likes 6 best.
I love it!

Have fun in Sandpoint, Idaho, it is beautiful! Bring your skis too, there is a great resort named Schweitzer right there in Sandpoint. I am not sure how much time you will be spending in the area, but you will want to check out Coeur D'Alene, Idaho as well if you have time. It is a very quant lake town with mountains surrounding the lake. It is a city you will have to drive through while going up to Sandpoint, Sandpoint is about an hour and a half north of Coeur D'Alene, from the Spokane, WA airport. I use to live in Spokane and work in Coeur D'Alene. It is an absolutely gorgeous part of the Inland NorthWest.

Beautiful roaster by the way!

[coffeefanaddict]

I am really looking forward to going. I have been up to Coeur d'alene before and loved it. (summertime) i have only seen pictures of Sandpoint as a friend of ours has a house there. Unfortunately we are only there for three days because of work schedules. Looking forward to a Bowl of Soul at the local cafe!

Just a quick video of a full batch of Brazil Moreninha Formosa coming out of my roaster the other night.  Quality is poor, it was shot on my phone, and you might want to turn down the volume a bit - that loud noise in the middle is the cooling arms/fan coming on.

35# of green in, about 28.5# out roasted - 30 second pull

I started with a hot air popcorn machine and have graduate to the iRoast 2.

Those are the Sul de Minas beans in there right now.

I'm considering upgrading to the Behrmor machine as I've read good things about it on coffeegeek.com

Cheers,

You're welcome Stubbie ... there seem to be many changes that go onto YouTube.  What worked one day all of a sudden does not work the next.

Yet another shameless Wisconsin plug.

You have no idea how hard it is to be humble when you live in Wisconsin.

Keep that to yourself.  We don't want Tex moving up here; we'd have to leave.
