Howdy,
I just finished my third roast with my new Gene. The first two were with Brazil Ipanema beans which came out wonderful, even, and clean looking.
The Columbia Supremo however, did not.
The Gene had just completed a roast and so was still hot.
I have been setting my Gene to 150 degrees for 5 mins, then up to 240 til first crack, then down to 228 til done.
I noticed that quite a while before first crack had come, the beans were already getting dark, and still had their husks on them. I turned the temp down, and saw the husks slowly coming off, but then had to stop the roast at 17 mins as they were at the level i think i am after (no members card yet, so cant comment on CS#). No idea if i got to second crack or not.. there was popping when i stopped but it could have been first crack still.
The beans are now quite ugly, with bits of husk still attached to around 30% of the beans
Does this sound common for this type of bean or does it sound like i had the temp set too high for it?
