Build a Better Roasting Area |
I got tired of ambient temp effecting my roasting profiles, so I moved it to a room with near static ambient temp..
|
Got 20 feet of dryer vent hose from Home Depot and connected it to the Gene Café... |
|
Ran the hose out the top of the roasting area... |
|
Use cable ties and safety wire to hold the hose in place.. |
|
Use picture hanger and safety wire to hold the hose to the ceiling.. |
|
Mounted it to a piece of masonite cut to fit the inside of the door to the spare wood furnace. |
|
Here's a better look at the whole furnace... |
|
A closer look at the house mount.. |
|
The metal block fan mounted inside the hose mount housing. |
|
Switch to control the fan ( with designer faceplate ). |
|
Roasting bags, lettered to keep track of roasts.. |
|
The roasting menu.. |
|
Freshly roasted beans, in bag with check valve for CO2 de-gassing.. |
|
A nice close look at a fresh roast, this one is an Espresso blend. Should be ready in 3 to 5 days.. |

Gound beans in the portafilter... |

Tamped... |
