Hey all, I've been roasting my cocao beans in my behmor at home (and having lots of fun doing it), but I am a coffee roaster by trade and have a Diedrich IR-5 at work. I am thinking of trying a roast in it. Here is what I seemed to have gleaned so far: I can roast 10 pounds of coffee beans which means up to 25 pounds of cocao. Lower and slower profile - 18 minutes, ending at about 265.
What I need to find out to limit wasting by trial and error: Drop temp for a small batch, like 5 pounds. I want to start with a small amount. What's the bottom temp I'm looking for? Time to bottom temp? I guess I'm looking for a general profile for roasting cocoa beans in a Diedrich. Any tips? Thanks, Tom
