I'm really enjoying your educational videos. I genuinely love the complexities involved with roasting coffee that you highlight in these videos. Keep it up mate!👍
hello. im coffee roaster from iran. and i have 15 kg single layer with 8 m drum . at max i can charge 10 kg to roast between 11:00 to 13:30 time. and my input gas is 23 mb natural gas with 14 row tankless water heaters burners. thank you for your amazing video
I once roasted on a 3kg Diedrich which had a single wall drum. I very often tipped and scorched the coffee. My charge weight for that machine was 1kg 😰. I should have tried the 'soak' method, but this was 15 years ago.
@@rjameswilkins in single wall drum roasters the best way is to have fixed high fan speed + high drum speed + low temp charge and apply all the heat you can in process and turn down heat before frist crack. the only problem with this method is you need very stong burner and high gas pressure
Sounds like you have good plan for single wall roasting. I tried using a different gearing to increase the drum speed and high airflow. I ended up buying a Probat - double walled drum solved those issues! 😅
@@rjameswilkins yes that's the ultimate solutions 😂 But when you have a 15 kg only 5000 dollar worth roaster you need to level up your skills to maximum to bring out 60 percent of probat coffee 🥹

Sure. Whatever skills you learn on your machine will be transferable to a new one, so well worth the effort 😊
