Aillio Bullet: From Roast to Brew 

I'm glad you enjoyed that! This is the stuff I really love to do so expect plenty more like this. Thanks for watching 🙏

Glad you found it useful! In the next month or so, I plan to make a more detailed video streamlining just one roast's process and make clear some fundamentals to guide a roast. I'm currently editing a video you may find useful too. It's actually about starting a business with particular regard to being a farmers market vendor (my experience this year). The current version is an hour-long chat filled to the brim with info. Should be available in a couple days.

Hey I wish you the best of luck! Actually I'm finding luck has little to do with it; work hard and those seeking good coffee will come. I've had a busy summer and I'm sure you'll be well on your way in no time!

@@davidsargentcoffee thank you very much! And that’s awesome for you. sounds like your killing it. keep it up! really exciting stuff. It’s intimidating but your encouragement helps me not be so overwhelmed.

Absolutely. It can be overwhelming and daunting sometimes. If you ever want to chat find me on insta @_davidsargentcoffee I'm always open to conversation.

Thanks, friend. More or less I'm hoping for this channel to be some opportunity for someone to learn something or be a little inspired to maybe give it a try for themselves. I appreciate your support!

Glad you enjoyed it! It's a wonderful machine when you get comfortable with it.

Glad you like it! It's an awesome roaster 💯

Thanks! Yes, the bullet's entirely worth the money. I definitely recommend it if it's in the budget and you can benefit from it's strengths and you want a very capable machine that isn't gas powered. Thanks for watching!

Brazil would be a great start. Find a simple washed Brazil and aim for a medium. I don’t know how much control ikawa gives you, but outside of color, weight loss is an indicator of roast level (relative to that bean). We shed about 14.5% of the weight off of our natural process Brazil. You can shoot for anywhere between 14-16% loss to start. Guatemala is another relatively easy origin to nail. Look for mid to low altitude with little to no complexity. 800-1500 meters with nutty or chocolatey expectations.

I appreciate it David thanks for the insight.

You picked the perfect time to ask. The 3D printed adapter melted because the fan I was using for exhaust was underpowered. I was previously using the AC infinity Raxial S4. I upgraded literally yesterday to the AC infinity Cloudline T4. It's about 200cfm, so nearly double the volume of air pulled, but it also creates a much better seal so I'm actually running it at about 30% power and getting much better results now.

Hey thanks! Nope, I bought the adapter from a seller on Etsy. If you search on Etsy it's pretty much the only option that shows up and I'd buy it again. Shipped quickly, and the seller was polite when I communicated with him.

@@davidsargentcoffee Thank you. That helps so much.

Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!

@@davidsargentcoffee I am really enjoying your content. The videos are clean and well done. Very professional.

I appreciate that! I just like to produce what I would hope to find. Thanks again

You can! Dark roasts can be problematic indoors just off the cooling tray alone. I had multiple fans running in my house to disperse it quickly, but I recommend checking out Etsy. You can find 3D printed attachments including an exhaust adapter for the cooling tray too, but usually the amount of smoke created by anything lighter than true dark roasts was non-consequential.

For 800 grams (my typical batch size) I'm usually charging a little lower than most for a lighter Ethiopian. I'm not home to check my actual profile at the moment but I want to say my charge temp is about 165-170°c.

Sure. This was over a year ago and I’ve come a long way in that time. Thanks for your input.

Sorry just seeing your comment now. I had one typical website called Sav-OnBags that I would find got me the best price for the quantities I needed.

Yep, I totally can, though most of the profiles I use are downloaded from Roast World without much modification so it would mostly be me showing the profiles I've downloaded. I also realize I made a mistake for which fan to buy - it's not quite powerful enough to pull everything out and create a true vacuum, so the lingering heat has melted my exhaust adapter so smoke tends to be problematic at higher temps. Fixing that soon! And I'll be doing another roast video soon going into more detail about which profiles I use and why so I'll show those then. Thanks!

This was a while ago now, so I can't be exact. Typically first crack is coming in around 180-190°C

@@davidsargentcoffee thank you soo much loves from Turkey

Thanks for watching! Hope you and your loved ones are in good spirits and health after the recent earthquakes 🙏

Please allow me to apologize. This was earlier on in my channel history and editing this footage was new to me then. If I could go back, I would certainly give more care to a more balanced lighting and color profile. Thank you for watching and I hope you can find something of value and I appreciate your feedback.

@@davidsargentcoffee I did not want to be negative. I am still learning now to roast coffee and I watch a ton of videos. You have a very expensive setup but when I say the results, It was terrible with the lighting. Sorry, I will try to find you again and see some better stuff. Thanks. Jerry
