I read somewhere that higher elevations have faster roast time and require somewhat lower temperatures. air is thin and has less Oxygen

Yes, 1st off, you must use only Panama Esmeralda Geisha beans and be sure to only roast on Saturdays. Actually, this isn't completely true. Please post in all about roasters forum. Thx!

I’m at 9,000 feet elevation, is there any special adjustments that need to be made to roast using an SR 540 at this elevation?

Bake A Round Alternatives
Gullygossner	#1 Posted on 09/08/2019 3:15 PM
Newbie Posts: 35 Joined: January 06, 2019	The pyrex bake a round appears to be a go to roasting chamber on many builds. They are very tough to come by in my part of the world. Are there easily accessible (ie Amazon) alternatives to the bake a round?

1 1/2 Pounder Posts: 1089 Joined: November 21, 2010	I scored the glass with a glass roller scoring tool thing, then alternated between hot and cold water poured onto the score line until it separates.

1 1/2 Pounder Posts: 1009 Joined: September 30, 2016	Unfortunately, no size in their offering is optimal for a roast chamber... All I found is 2 ¼" OD, which is too small, and 5" OD, that could be too big, and too short given the maximum 7" long offering... This is what I found in this section: https://www.great...inders.htm ... maybe elsewhere you was more lucky...
