Thanks for the replies, but.....I hastily pulled the trigger on the Hario Woodneck and the OXO electric kettle before I heard from anyone. I also got a Coffee Gator scale. I don't have too much buyer's regret, at least not yet, because I have been very happy with my OXO grinder and drip machine...

With a birthday coming up, I'd like to up my game with pour over. I know this has been discussed many times on the last 143 pages, but I was wondering if anyone uses the OXO electric gooseneck and their feelings on it. I was also considering the Hario Woodneck cloth filter pour over drip pot...

You were correct, Kealia. I found the element to be broken off at the terminal and the slide connector was in very bad shape on the tab. I reconnected the element and pinched the connector to make good contact and gave it a try and it heated up. I'm going to order a new one and request new...

I did not see the orange glow. I will dig into that tomorrow. Thank you for that. Is the afterburner, when working, always on with the two quartz heaters?

Anyone ever have the performance of a Behmor 1600+ fall off? I do manual roasts. Preheat for 1:45. 1/2 lb. beans on 1 lb. setting. Roaster and beans stored at 70 F. Roast indoors at 70 F. P5 as soon as I push start. It will no longer achieve 300 degrees by 10:30 when the second fan starts. (Used...

So Sunday I roasted some Guatemalan on the lighter side and then proceeded to put it in the smoker for an hour with a 70 cherry/30 hickory mix. I left it rest a couple of days before brewing. It wasn't an overwhelming smoke. It kinda reminded me of cherry pipe tobacco. It was OK. I won't rush to...

I am slow to reply, but I did roast the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Dumerso using the above technique and got all kinds of blueberry. As it would turn out, now that I have the berry I was seeking, I find that's not really what I want in a coffee. BUT...this method has really upped my game with other...

Anybody ever make a coffee stout with their home roasts? I was wondering if anyone has a particular coffee they recommend.

A Google Maps image of your house reveals a wet streak running down your driveway, which means you were chilling your wort when the satellite went overhead.

I remember way back in this thread you were very pleased with your OXO equipment. It was good to know right when I was in the market. I think we "met" a few years back in a rauchbier discussion, too.

I read that Sweet Marias article you linked. Thanks for that. Just the type of info I'm looking for. I can see that I'm going to have to go to 1/2 lb. roast to see if it makes a difference. I always have excellent voltage. It never drops under 120, so I figured I could get away with 1 lb...

Thanks. I will go with those guidelines, but I'm still waiting for shipping. Do you know what your peak temperature was?

I also have some of the Yirg Dumerso on the way from SM. I have been roasting nearly two years now and never really got the berry bombs out of the Africans that it seems like everyone else talks about. I do manual roasts on the Behmor and do very well with Central Americans. I especially have a...

I, too have the OXO drip and grinder on passedpawns endorsements about a year ago. Love them both. I'm also a Behmor guy.

I do love me some coffee stout.

I didn't provide much information. I started my roast in Auto, but when the heaters cycled off the first time, I went to P5. By not paying attention to the temp well enough, it went to err2 somewhere around the 8:00 to go mark. When the err2 occurred, if I remember correctly, the drum stopped...

I didn't toss it. I thought I once read that an interrupted roast is ruined. However, this morning I picked out most of the burnt beans and re-roasted it. I've already made a cup with it and can say that it is probably not as good as if I hadn't had my err2 and re-roast, but I think it is decent...

Noted. I believe the machine is looking for a quick rise in temperature as if there was a fire and the heaters need to be shut off. My full last full manual roast went just fine. I saw 316 at one point, but it was a slower rise in temp this time. An hour has passed since my last roast...

I've never seen 315 in print before, so thanks for that. It's been mentioned before in this thread that the Behmor instructions are a bit disappointing/vague. I mostly like the machine just fine, though. I'm about to charge the drum with some El Salvador. I will go manual the whole way with...

So I waited 5 days for my beans to ship across the country and quickly got a lb. of Nicaragua into the Behmor as soon as I got them. I started out in Auto, but eventually switched over to P5. Around the 6 minute mark it all shut down and I had err2. There's no saving that batch, right? Dammit...
