What are you roasting today?

We have a dedicated plug in the garage that I use, so there is not a chance of tripping it. BUt How cold does it get where you are right now this time of year?

It gets down in the teens at night and stays around freezing during the day right now. I would say my garage stays about 40 degrees right now.

That sounds like the temp I roast in. I have not had any issues. When it gets to cold in the garage, my roaster wont work. I like to roast in the garage because my son doesnt like the smell and I usially take the time to smoke and catch up on my fun reading on bullitin boards I am on.

Good information!
I had some Guat Hunapu that I had roasted on the 23 of Dec...very dark, probably the edge of Vienna. I just start drinking it again (Broken French Press) and it is soooooo good.
I had let it degass for 5 days it has been sitting in a sealed mason since then. I am going to roast it again today like that and let it sit and degass for a while; I want to recreate that same thing.

Mason Jar--loose seal for 24hrs, then tightened down.
