Thanks for sharing! I got interested in this after hearing about Modern Times in California. They barrel age coffee (http://moderntimesbeer.com/blog/wtf-is-a-bourbon-barrel-aged-coffee-bean) and also use it to make beer. They talked about it on Basic Brewing radio this summer. I plan to give it...

I just got a small batch home coffee roaster and have been roasting beans for a few weeks. I noticed that there's actually fewer resources online about roasting coffee than there are about brewing beer! I am wondering what resources veteran coffee roasters would recommend including books or...
