Just heatgun roasted 200g of mandheling, I decided to try hastening the onset of first crack, achieving it at around 3 min mark, then maintained the heat for another 1.5-2 mins or so, at which stage the smoke disappeared and the oils started seeping through. I decided to slow things down a bit and moved the HG away from the beans. Eventually I got to verge of 2nd crack at 8min. I was quite surprised to see oil coming out like that, was that a bad sign? could I have roasted too quickly that some of the 2nd cracks merged with 1st cracks? if indeed 2nd crack was reached for some of the beans, how was it possible that ALL the beans started sweating and at the completion of the roasting they dont look at all overroasted (looking full city +)
