I was tweaking the software on my computer controlled fluid bed roaster when things went a bit haywire. My goal was to stop the roast at around 425F for a FullCity roast, but as I got to were the beans were about 420F the air temperature suddenly ramped up to around 750F in a period of about 12...
With the right air temperature control system, will a fluid bed roaster perform the same as a drum roaster like a Probate? If the beans in a fluid bed roaster go through the exact same temperature changes as in a drum roaster, wouldn't the results be exactly the same for both approaches?
