We've used up all the coffee we had on hand and so I roasted three batches today, 2 Harrar and 1 Mexican. I've modified the roaster to use a thermocouple to measure bean temp an hopefully get somewhat better control. The batches went well and we'll taste them tomorrow or Friday.
The motor speed controller arrived today. I tested it with the popcorn popper to see if it works and it does. I'll need to modify the wiring and controls to use it but that shouldn't take long. This should allow me much better control of heat input to the roast and smooth out the roast profile.
