thanks for the suggestions - hubby took them a little far last time (groan!) and I agree with your findings. Will give your timings a go - it might be on the last 250 grams though!!
Always happy to be adventurous.
I call this bean my nemesis but with time its become one of my favourites. I find it needs a lot of attention after FC to keep the roast from running away or stalling.
I currently prefer a quicker ramp to First Crack (9-10min) followed by a slower ramp to second crack, but I stop the roast a couple of degrees BEFORE second crack at about a CS 8/9. This enhances the blueberry flavours. It does work as a darker roast though I found it quickly turned a bit ashy if pushed into rolling second crack.
others recommend a blend by roast some light and some dark and then blending.
try a couple of profiles and roast depths and see how you like it.
