This thread will be dedicated to collecting "best practice" data from your fluidbed roasters with the aim of building a spreadsheet that will include all of the basic roaster parameters such as roast chamber style, shape, size, inlet diameter, heater type and wattage etc. The purpose of it is to give new builders a place to start on their popper mod or new fluidbed build with the least amount of fiddling and redesign to get it to work properly. When you post, please include the following data on your roaster: -Scratchbuilt, popper or other -Optimum green coffee batch size -Roast chamber dimensions, inlet diameter and type (asymmetrical or conical or flat bottom), extension tube dimensions etc -Heater wattage -Blower type and wattage -Blower and heater control information -other pertinent information I look forward to seeing your input to this thread!
