I have been roasting with the Diedrich IR 24N for almost a year. This is the equiptment I was trained on, but my mentor has moved away and I have a question about the smallest amount of beans I can roast. I pretty much always do a full roast of 45lbs each time I roast but I do have some beans that are not a high volume sales and only require a couple to ten pounds. I'm not really sure if I should be roasting such a small amount in a roaster this large or not. I would like some feed back on this if anyone can help that would be great.
