Hi All,
Relatively new roaster here hoping to mine the collective wisdom for some advice on where I might have gone wrong with todays roast. Ive got about 20 Corretto roasts under my belt but todays went weird.
Today I roasted 400g of Harar Star from last months BeanBay. Everything was as per the last two batches I did. I did a slow-ish ramp to first crack over ten minutes or so, then after another seven minutes hit second crack and pulled the beans. They ended up about CS9.
OK - so the issue is that this time there is a lot of tipping & the beans are very fragile. I dropped some on the ground and they shattered. Tipping the beans into the cooler, there was way more chaff left in the Corretto than Ive had with any bean before.
So is this just one of those things or something I could avoid?
Cheers
Jeff K

(I also go to the effort of removing the very light and very dark beans by hand afterwards - a bit tedious).
