Roastings

This will be the home to my online roast log for what I currently have jarred on the counter.  It serves two purposes:

1.  Facilitate me remembering what I’m drinking and to recall notes when not a home

2.  Share what I’m roasting more consistently with others.

First content will probably be this weekend, and it will continually rotate.

The tail end of the roasts from January 11th, 2009:

11-2: Sumatra Onan Ganjang Cultivar Roasted to Full City, pulled at 450F (a bit hot, but not as dark as anticipated)  No cooling on the popper.

11-3: Brazil Ipanema “Tree Dried Process” Full City, 440F, no marking time.

19-1: Java Kajumas Curah Tatal: City+, 442F, no 2nd present.  Only roast last night.  More today?

9-1: Honduras Organic Marcala Cocosam Coop: Morning roast to FC, about 435F.

3/26-1: Kenya Thika Chania -  French Mission Cultivar: City+, pulled about 440F

28-1: Honduras Organic Marcala Cocosam Coop: Morning roast to FC, about 440F.  Sweet in the AP, 3/31, but the end.

    Ummm, the above tells me that it IS called the “Black Sun”, but I was wondering if you knew WHY it was called that?

    Well, I followed the link back to Sweet Maria’s so I now have the vaguest inkling of why it is designated “Black Sun”. Wasn’t that important, anyway. :-)
