Roasted some beans this morning.
The beans seemed to be moving well in the popper much more than normal.
First crack started at about 6 minutes I was thinking this is slow
At 13 minutes the roast had not reached second crack.
Then it dawned on me that I had forgot to tare the container when weighing out the beans so I was roasting about 70g rather than the usual 100g.
(Too much Christmas? ) :-[
This was confirmed when the usual 250 ml container was not full like it usually is when I store the 100g roast in it.
So reducing the amount of beans in the popper will slow down the roast.
Possibly a 5 to 10 gram reduction would have been better ;D
