I haven't posted since February!  I will &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;definitely&lt;/span&gt; get back to posting about coffee starting next week.  This post is about the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;trajedy&lt;/span&gt; that took place Monday April 16&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; at Virginia Tech.  As a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Hokie&lt;/span&gt; myself (&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;BSE&lt;/span&gt; '99) I feel the pain of the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Hokie&lt;/span&gt; nation.  &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Blacksburg&lt;/span&gt;, VA is such a peaceful and beautiful place and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University is an amazing school.  I don't know any of the victims or those affected but &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Hokie&lt;/span&gt; nation really is one giant family.  You really have to be a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Hokie&lt;/span&gt; to understand that.  I really can only say two things to my fellow &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Hokies&lt;/span&gt;; VA TECH WILL RISE ABOVE THIS AND BECOME STRONGER AS A RESULT OF THIS &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;TRAGEDY&lt;/span&gt; AND....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;GO &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;HOKIES&lt;/span&gt;!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5827141113178785796-2604591147156068747?l=homecoffeeroastblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MyHomeCoffeeRoastBlog/~4/N9kCukKEfEE" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://homecoffeeroastblog.blogspot.com/feeds/2604591147156068747/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5827141113178785796&amp;postID=2604591147156068747&amp;isPopup=true" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5827141113178785796/posts/default/2604591147156068747?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5827141113178785796/posts/default/2604591147156068747?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MyHomeCoffeeRoastBlog/~3/N9kCukKEfEE/i-have-been-behind-with-my-coffee-posts.html" title="" /><author><name>Kevin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13594117583288255332</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="16" height="16" src="http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://homecoffeeroastblog.blogspot.com/2007/04/i-have-been-behind-with-my-coffee-posts.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DUANQX85cSp7ImA9WBFSGEU.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827141113178785796.post-461188149178169271</id><published>2007-02-19T04:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-19T04:23:10.129-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2007-02-19T04:23:10.129-08:00</app:edited><title>As Promised -</title><content type="html">

I mean no one I know has a temperature profile to cook steak or chicken...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My preliminary results are beginning to convince me that I couldn't have been more WRONG!

The coffee had a lot of sour notes in it.  I hate when I screw up a great bean.  It's like I've betrayed to coffee gods or something...(okay, not that bad but Sweet Maria's beans deserve better than to be ruined by my developing roasting skills)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dfwpqs4b_62fcm42w"&gt;http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dfwpqs4b_62fcm42w&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5827141113178785796-1073415395541849692?l=homecoffeeroastblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MyHomeCoffeeRoastBlog/~4/5-2ejXG6V_I" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://homecoffeeroastblog.blogspot.com/feeds/1073415395541849692/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5827141113178785796&amp;postID=1073415395541849692&amp;isPopup=true" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5827141113178785796/posts/default/1073415395541849692?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5827141113178785796/posts/default/1073415395541849692?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MyHomeCoffeeRoastBlog/~3/5-2ejXG6V_I/gc-roast-profile-experiment.html" title="GC Roast Profile Experiment" /><author><name>Kevin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13594117583288255332</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="16" height="16" src="http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://homecoffeeroastblog.blogspot.com/2007/01/gc-roast-profile-experiment.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CUMESXc6fCp7ImA9WBBUFEQ.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827141113178785796.post-7119533219920821108</id><published>2006-12-30T07:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-30T07:43:28.914-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2006-12-30T07:43:28.914-08:00</app:edited><title>Sumatra Classic Mandheling</title><content type="html">

I tweaked my profile to 300 for 5 min, 435 from 5 to 10.5 minutes, 458 until the end of the roast.  I didn't have too much luck with this profile.  Since I roast under an open window and it's in the 30's on a daily basis in where I am in upstate NY, the &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;third&lt;/span&gt; stage in my &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;GC&lt;/span&gt; needs to be 460 or higher (no greater than 470).  The bean tastes a little baked for my tastes.

This is a very good rustic coffee with a strong &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;sarsaparilla&lt;/span&gt; flavor in the cup.  My tasters at work were not crazy about this coffee. The felt it was overpowering but I really liked it.  I though it was unique tasting and full bodied.  I think I nailed the roast and I really did enjoy this bean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="tabcontent" target="_blank" href="http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dfwpqs4b_46gf8t3w"&gt;http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dfwpqs4b_46gf8t3w&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5827141113178785796-6707952887094414753?l=homecoffeeroastblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MyHomeCoffeeRoastBlog/~4/6ibitlyOwiE" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://homecoffeeroastblog.blogspot.com/feeds/6707952887094414753/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5827141113178785796&amp;postID=6707952887094414753&amp;isPopup=true" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5827141113178785796/posts/default/6707952887094414753?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5827141113178785796/posts/default/6707952887094414753?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MyHomeCoffeeRoastBlog/~3/6ibitlyOwiE/zimbabwe-dandoni-estate-12-10-06.html" title="Zimbabwe Dandoni Estate - 12-10-06" /><author><name>Kevin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13594117583288255332</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="16" height="16" src="http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://homecoffeeroastblog.blogspot.com/2006/12/zimbabwe-dandoni-estate-12-10-06.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DEICRnw6fip7ImA9WBBVEE0.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827141113178785796.post-5779124487210540769</id><published>2006-12-13T02:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-13T02:42:47.216-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2006-12-13T02:42:47.216-08:00</app:edited><title>New reviews coming</title><content type="html">

The profile was put together by Eddie Dove and distributed via SM list serve.  The cupping results from the profile are much improved over my previous Ron &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Popeil&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; technique of set it and forget it at 465F.

The purpose of the blog is to publish my home coffee roasting logs for the members of the Sweet Maria's list serve.  All coffee roasted was purchased from Sweet Maria's (&lt;a href="http://beta.blogger.com/www.sweetmarias.com"&gt;www.sweetmarias.com&lt;/a&gt;).  Their products, service, and dedication to finding the best greens are second to none.  I can't praise their efforts enough!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The original Sweet Maria's cupping reviews by Thompson Owen (proprietor of Sweet Maria's) can be found on Sweet Maria's current offerings site:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sweetmarias.com/prod.greencoffee.mvc.shtml"&gt;http://www.sweetmarias.com/prod.greencoffee.mvc.shtml&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;or   the archive of their green offerings:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sweetmarias.com/coffee.reviewarchive.a-f.html"&gt;http://www.sweetmarias.com/coffee.reviewarchive.a-f.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Navigating their archvies should be self-explainatory.  I have included a link to SM's orginal cupping reviews with my logs.  If the link is broken, please check their archived reviews  for their original cupping review.  They were the target I was trying to hit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Ethiopian&lt;/span&gt; Organic &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Idido&lt;/span&gt;
