First time poster, mid-term lurker. Non-Orthodox but inquiring. I started a chronologicalish church fathers and the like reading a couple years ago and just finished St. Cyprian's works from St. Vlad's Press. Thinking of supplementing with https://historicalchristian.faith/by_father.php whatever I've missed more casually (i.e., reading via my phone, e.g., Odes of Solomon at meals). Has anyone attempted something similar? Will probably work up through the first millennium but will be more selective coming into the golden age of the 4th century and up due to pure volume of works and # of authors to chose from... mostly focused on eastern fathers/ writings but you have St. Augustine in there and the like. I love to read. Would also love to know what other folks are doing/how they are doing it. Thanks!

Curious what the gang is doing here for light roast in the Behmor 2000AB. All African coffees, usually dry processed. I do use an extension cord. I basically pre-heat for 5 minutes, use the fast drumroll speed, and roast around 200-300 grams (I know its on the heavier side for achieving this but I don't notice a huge difference between flavor with smaller batches and its a pain to do more than 2 roasts) at the highest (P5) setting. First crack used to come around 8-9 minutes left out of the 18 minutes total. Now after a few years with the machine its around 5 minutes left or even beeping at the 4 mark. I've cleaned the thing the best I can over the years but its not the same. I used to be able to roast inside under the stove, but not anymore, too much smoke. Should I get a new roaster? Should I just try to roast smaller batches? How are you achieving that fruity light roast? Thanks
