Re: What are you roasting today?

I am leaning towards the Behmor for price but the Hottops are very ineresting.

Re: What are you roasting today?

I am looking to upgrade to something bigger & better.
I really do not want to spend $700-$1000 for a good grill drum.
Is the Behmor 1600 any good? Are the...

Re: What are you roasting today?

Very interesting, thanks my friend!

Re: What are you roasting today?

Oh yah for some reason I was thinking it was closer to 10 days old, I must be getting old. Not sure why this batch tastes so bad. Maybe because it is so cold now in the garage where I roast?

Re: What are you roasting today?

I just made some espresso from this roast and it was terrible, maybe it's not fresh enough anymore. Man that was a dissapointment.
