Glad your back I just got my Yoshan... would you share some of your configuration settings in artisan after 2 or so years of having one???

That’s pretty good. Surprised you get there that quick at 1.3kpa. How much green are you rotating per batch? Is your KPA gauge the same as mine, 6kpa?

Great work! Whats youre typical end temperature for espresso?

That's a bit of a tough question because it depends on a few factors. The probe milimeters, probe placement, FC temp, End FC temp, development time, etc. A very general number would be between 405 and 420. Keep in mind, I generally don't go past medium roast, even for my espresso beans. I'm just not a fan of dark roast. I'll never go to Second Crack. But that's just me.

3#12oz per batch. Same gauge. Where are you on the tank gauge ? I’ve been running it at 1 # of pressure. I zeroed out the gauge and I can’t get any higher than 1.5 as it would melt down the roaster. I think that the front bearing should be bronze. The replacement is double sealed as the original and dries out after a session of roasting. I drip 3 and 1 oil onto a 5” piece of light gauge mechanics wire to get the oil past the end of the drum shaft onto the side of the bearing. I’ve picked pieces of the failing bearing seal as it works it way out of the housing as it would obviously end up in the bean basket.

Okay there's so much happening here I don't thing is good. Can you send me a video of your set up and what you're using to lubricate your bearing? Are you removing the housing for the bearing, cleaning it and lubricating before returning it? As for the regulator. I'm around 2 PSI. Did you try the protocol I used in the gas regulator video? I misspoke in that video, but mentioned in the comments around 2 PSI is recommended. Are you saying you max out at 1.5 kPa? I'm not sure why your roaster would "melt down" if it was any higher. You should not be using 3and1 oil. It's not food grade. Pick up some Super Lube High Temp Food Grade lubricant. Email me your set up. Something is off. rob@ocdcoffeeclub.com

Is your roaster on natural gas ? As I’m roasting on the same Yoshan with propane at 1 - 1.3 kpa

I use propane too. I think you have the wrong regulator on your propane tank. Watch my other video about hooking up your propane tank.

I use the same regulator 30#. I did not set it up as you showed. I have no manual to go by. I’m not having a problem reaching second crack and I don’t think I would want it any hotter. After a low long warm up from cold, I’ll drop beans at 400 f, running 1-1.3 kpa

@@kas7660 how long does it take you to finish a roast? At that KPa it seems like it would take forever.

Good day Sir. I have decided to get a 1kg roaster. Hope you could help me to get a discount from Yoshan.
