      Good question. I normally heat to around 425-440F and let it warm up there for at least 30-45 minutes. Depends on the temp in my garage where I roast. From there I preset my kPa to where I need to be after the soak, so I can just hit the Heat button when I'm ready. As for the BBP, I don't follow Scott Roa, but rather I drop my previous roast into the cooling tray, kick my kPa to the level I need it for the next batch(generally 6kPa), as described, as the temp is raising I update my Artisan for the next batch, turn on that Artisan profile, but don't his start yet. My green coffee is already weighed out and ready. By that time my roaster is just reach 430-440F and I cut the heat and hit start on Artisan and wait until I reach 10 degrees before my charge temp, then I drop the green into the hopper. Then I opened the hopper at the correct charge temp. That starts my soak.

      You’ll most likely need a new bearing if yours is stuck on. Is it squeaking? Make sure you order the bearing and lube and have it ready for removal or you’ll have to wait after removal to fix it. Use a screw driver and try to get between the housing and the front face of the roaster. If you have lubricant, rub a little on there and see if you can get it free. You can also use plumbers pliers to try and get a grip on the housing to pull it away. Might want to use a small microfiber towel and place it between the tool and your roaster parts in order to not scratch up your roaster.

    3#12oz per batch. Same gauge. Where are you on the tank gauge ? I’ve been running it at 1 # of pressure. I zeroed out the gauge and I can’t get any higher than 1.5 as it would melt down the roaster. I think that the front bearing should be bronze. The replacement is double sealed as the original and dries out after a session of roasting. I drip 3 and 1 oil onto a 5” piece of light gauge mechanics wire to get the oil past the end of the drum shaft onto the side of the bearing. I’ve picked pieces of the failing bearing seal as it works it way out of the housing as it would obviously end up in the bean basket.

Are you removing the housing for the bearing, cleaning it and lubricating before returning it? As for the regulator. I'm around 2 PSI. Did you try the protocol I used in the gas regulator video? I misspoke in that video, but mentioned in the comments around 2 PSI is recommended. Are you saying you max out at 1.5 kPa? I'm not sure why your roaster would "melt down" if it was any higher. You should not be using 3and1 oil. It's not food grade. Pick up some Super Lube High Temp Food Grade lubricant. Email me your set up. Something is off. rob@ocdcoffeeclub.com

      I use the same regulator 30#. I did not set it up as you showed. I have no manual to go by. I’m not having a problem reaching second crack and I don’t think I would want it any hotter. After a low long warm up from cold, I’ll drop beans at 400 f, running 1-1.3 kpa

    Great work! Whats youre typical end temperature for espresso?

    • @ocdcoffeeclub4796
      @ocdcoffeeclub4796 7 місяців тому

      That's a bit of a tough question because it depends on a few factors. The probe milimeters, probe placement, FC temp, End FC temp, development time, etc. A very general number would be between 405 and 420. Keep in mind, I generally don't go past medium roast, even for my espresso beans. I'm just not a fan of dark roast. I'll never go to Second Crack. But that's just me.

    I'm picking up some tidbits of info from you that I plan to try when I roast again in a few days. I have a BC-2, but it is similar, just smaller. Keep up the good work! 👍

    Hi rob. Just wondering do you have anything that’s comes off the air out take from the cooling fan on the cooling tray. My roasting room gets covered in chaff that’s being blown away from when it’s cooling. Tia. Steve at naughty monkey coffee

      Hey Steve, it’s a good observation. I didn’t use an exhaust vent for the cooling tray. I actually discovered someone who used something called a milk bag in order to catch the that comes through the cooling tray. Here’s a link to it. a.co/d/6Y1tJkp

    So how many front drum bearings have you gone through ? I’m on my second replacement in less than 3 weeks. The original lasted for about 3 months and or 150 pounds of roasting.

    Hey, thanks for the videos! I purchased the same roaster you have after your vids gave me the confidence that it’d be alright purchasing from Yoshan last November. I have been roasting on it since February and it has been a great investment. Saving a lot of $ roasting my own beans for a small coffee shop I run. I actually am replacing my gas regulator today with a 20kpa model and came across this video just by coincidence! My cyclone fan keeps clogging up. You experiencing this? I do a lot of dark roasts for espresso beans so it’s probably because of all the oils produced at that stage. Thanks again! The Kraken Coffeehouse, Elizabeth City, NC.

      Hi, thanks for checking out the video. I'm glad my videos have been helpful to you! When you say clogged, I'm assuming the chaff is getting caught just under the exhaust fan, yes? How quickly is your fan getting clogged? Are you roasting back to back dark roast batches without checking? A couple other things, often Natural coffees will throw more chaff than a washed coffee, so keep that in mind when you're roasting. Also, curious how high you have your fan speed set to. That could play a factor. At the end of the day, you might need to vacuum out your fan every couple roasts if you're going dark and it's a bean that tends to have a lot of chaff. You might also need to empty your chaff drawer more often. Again, when I roast natural coffees, my chaff drawer fills up in like 4 batches. I've forgotten a couple times and almost lit a fire in the cyclone. Not smart. Last thing, it was brought to my attention that 5 PSI might be too high, as mentioned in the video, so roughly 1-1.5 psi should be sufficient for reaching 6 kPa. I can't remember, did you order through my sales rep or did you order somewhere else? I can't remember if we've ever spoken.

      @@ocdcoffeeclub4796 Hey, thanks for all the info! No we haven’t spoken. I purchased my roaster before I learned that you can get a discount. I still got a great deal 👍🏼 I roast a lot of semi-washed beans from Brazil, from Genuine Origin, and yes they make a lot of chaff! The grate at the cyclone fan gets gummed up with oils and chaff sticks to it to. Yes, I have to empty my bin every about every 4 roasts. I misspoke earlier, I am installing a regulator that will go up to 20 psi but I only intend to set it less than 5. The regulator I have on currently is just a low pressure model I got from Tractor Supply and doesn’t provide much gas so I have been keeping my airflow at about 40 percent so the chamber will heat. I’m hoping with more gas pressures I can keep the airflow higher to do a better job removing chaff and roast more evenly. Thanks, I appreciate your insight!

      @@ocdcoffeeclub4796Thanks for your reply! I don’t see my other reply back to you so I’m assuming it didn’t send. So, yes the grate at the exhaust fan gets gummed up with oils and then clogged with chaff. I will notice that chaff starts building up at the lip below the roast chamber door that allows beans to exit to the cooling tray so it’s an indicator for me to stop and check things.I do have to roast back to back dark roasts to meet our demand but I do check it and clean any buildup when necessary. I think this is just going to be the norm due to running a lot of the dark roasts. I misspoke earlier, I am installing a new regulator that goes up to 20 psi, I only plan on setting it around 5psi. The regulator I have been using is not a higher pressure regulator. I didn’t realize I needed a high pressure regulator when I was setting up the machine. I’m hoping the higher gas pressure will allow me to increase my airflow because I have had to keep it around 30-40 percent or too much heat is lost. Thanks for your insights!

    I like to keep my top valve set to a certain number as a limiter to keep pressure from going beyond that point and prevent any gauge damage. It also acts as my 100% level so i can accurately gauge back my roast percent-wise. I put tally marks denoting 10% increments.
