Mr.Bagadonuts, you're speaking my language. Very cool rig.
I dig the low cost and the lab equipment look. If nothing else, there's something very satisfying about putting something together yourself.
We're at the family camp with no car, a cheap burr grinder, a French press and 6 lbs of Kicking Horse (Canadian roaster), and you guys are making me crazy!
What's the shelf life of green beans? (aka if you buy a big bag, will it go bad before you roast all of it;-)
Mark your calendar for the next exchange October 4. That gives lots of time to decide on a bean to roast.
Check this out. Credit to Jim. I Listened for the first sign of cracking, turned the heat elements off and maintained rotation for one min. than heat on for three more and done. I did not get into second crack. I'm expecting good things >>>

that looks really nice.
Will do. I think I want to send you a dose of this batch. Should be there Monday.
Guys, post this to your favorite coffee forums and pals who roast. Our goal should be to grow this group.

VSalon is my coffee forum! And my entomology forum, and, and, and...
I think there are a few non-roasting coffee nerds who would get a kick out of salonista roasted coffee.

I'm on board with that. Great way to get the roasts out there.
Pulled a shot of the new batch today. Gotta say, great shot. Very smooth, could taste a bit of caramel. Great aftertaste and great buzz.
You are getting this dialed Josh. Great roast !

Now that we've huddled for a few weeks to get our beans in a groove, so to speak. The VSalon Coffee Exchange sub-forum is live.
