i hav 5 5kilo roaster US Roaster (stainless steel drum) and have started doing sample roasts (1 to 2 lbs). The charge temp i have been using is 340 degrees and roasts for 13.5 minutes. I am getting a lot of craters and coffee body is weak.
i also have run 6 lbs @ a charge temp of 380 degrees...
I am installing a 5kg roaster and want to ask if "grease pipe venting" is required or if just a class A, double wall UL103 (e.g. duratech) will suffice.
anyone have experience with this...and what you use for vent pipe. thanks!
I am looking to purchase a 5 kilo roaster...used or new. located in Atlanta, GA. Looking at Ambex or US Roaster (for new) or other brands as used (Diedrich, Ambex, US Roaster, etc). Anyone have experience with Ambex or US Roaster. Ambex is now run by one of the founders of the company...
