Hi Summercrema,
Not sure if it will be helpful and if you use the CS USB Monitor software, but if you do I have attached a template I use for quite a few beans which shows the Hottop changes I make at each point. My Hottop program (in this case saved in AD2), follows these adjustments, and it seems to work pretty well generally. F1-F4 are the Fan adjustments, xx% are the heat adjustments. A1=180deg, A2=210deg alarms or roughly when you can expect them to go off. The Load, first crack, RFC, second crack, RSC and Unload are also all notated. I allow the Hottop to follow the saved program until 1st crack then I manually adjust to suit the circumstances. Usually in fact I drop the temp to 30% immediately after first crack then adjust it up as required and to prevent stalling etc.
So I load the template to show what the saved program is doing and as a guide.
It is set for a 250g batch.
Graham
