Best Resources for Coffee Roasting Knowledge

[mbude]

I just got a small batch home coffee roaster and have been roasting beans for a few weeks. I noticed that there's actually fewer resources online about roasting coffee than there are about brewing beer! I am wondering what resources veteran coffee roasters would recommend including books or classes. I'm interested in barrel aging coffee beans and developing blends/roasts with adjuncts like chicory or spices. I enjoy trial and error but love to see what others have learned. Thanks,

Maggie

I learned from this book then some trial and error. I only wasted 1# of beans getting it right. I made my own heavy duty whirly pop style roaster and I roast on my beer burner.
