I'm back up and running, almost
shsesc
I was away for some time due to moving. I have been without home roast for a while and I'm not quite back up and running yet.


I just moved back to my home town of Wallingford and the basement doesn't have a good circuit to roast from.

I'm installing 2 new 20A GFI receptacles on different circuits for my roasting setup hopefully tomorrow. I will also have to replace a basement window with a piece of acrylic with a dryer vent mounted to it. I should be back roasting soon.


I will update my posts about the noise issues in Artisan and the results of using the ferrites that I haven't had a chance to try yet.

Sorry it took so long to reply, I'm going to use the same roaster I used at the old house, a modified Poppery 1 with artisan as a logger.

Unfortunately, our first floor toilet had the supply line come loose and flooded the basement just after I wired up my electrical outlets.

Luckily my green coffee is stored on a book shelf that didn't get wet. No real damage to anything but the hardwood floors are buckled a little. We were able to borrow dehumidifiers and fans from my brother's employer and wet-vac up a good amount of the water.

We replaced the supply line with a braided stainless line with threaded on connections instead of the old one which was only held in with a bushing on the toilet end, so hopefully this won't happen again.

I still have to replace the window pane with polycarbonate with a dryer vent. Then I'll be able to resume roasting.

How does one tell if someone is truly a coffee fanatic?

When they are overjoyed that while water from the upper floor toilet piping damaged an area of the hardwood floors it spared the green coffee inventory! ThumbsUp

Yeah Allen that is a good description.

Nice, I haven't not had home roasted available in a long time, I shudder at the thought.
Did you mean Wallingford, WA?
If so, a very nice area.
