We seem to be going through the 100g batches in about 3 days. I can only roast on the weekends and Id like to roast larger batches. Any ideas?

The other reason to not roast back to back is you'd have to make a slight adjustment to the roast profiles recipe as the unit would start from a warmer point. I routinely dry my beans for 2 minutes at low temp, before starting the roast process in earnest. Edited by oldwasichu on 03/11/2018 1:05 PM

Administrator Posts: 3005 Joined: September 30, 2016	Already preheated my popcorn machine, never started the very first roast from environment temperature. Sure, started with lower temp, about 175C, but not cold. So all roasts were consistent. Roasters: DIY: TO based IR 200-640g Moded commercial: Skywalker, Dieckmann RoestMeister, Nesco, popper(s).

He also made a nice mod for the roast chamber that effectively turns the sr500 into a spouting bed: http://coffeegeek...010#594010 A nice mod here that I'm getting ready to try: https://forum.hom...ad_id=4760(Update: Broke my SR500 chamber trying this. Time to order a new one). Edited by JitterzZ on 03/13/2019 3:00 PM
