I'm just setting up for my first attempt at this. I've got a second-
hand Breville bread machine which does a 25-minute uninterrupted
'dough' cycle agitation, and a Ryobi heat-gun which has done a
sterling job for me till now, using the old 'hand-stirring in mixing
bowl' method. And I've bought a perfect clamp-stand which will hold
the heat-gun at just about any height I need, above the mixing-bowl.
If there are other 'corretto' roasters out there (which this method
has been dubbed by members of Coffeesnobs.com.au), can you advise how
far above the beans the nozzle of the heat-gun should be set? By hand,
with rapid agitation, I hold it only about half an inch above the
beans, but this might be too much in the breadmaking bin enclosure.
