Great in sight . Thanks for such a detailed response . My current setup is a simple Whirley Pop popcorn popper over a gas stove . I don ' t have a way to log the bean temps but after doing some research I ' ll soon be adding a thermocouple to my set up and writing a program that graphs the temperature vs time . I ' m currently designing a fluid bed air roast that should be able to handle a 1 pound roast and log a graph of the bean temps over time . Hopefully , I ' ll be done in a couple of months . Have you enjoyed and learned a lot from your past 6 months working as a roaster ? What is the capacity of the roaster at your work ? What is your home roasting set up ? Sorry for all the questions . Roasting fascinates me .
