I did my first roast in my corretto setup today (well, third roast, but first with the DMM from the BeanBay). I did 600g of PNG Wahgi AA.
Got to first crack in about 13.5 min. Rolling first crack not much after that. Im not sure if I got to second crack or not, I suspect I just hit it before I stopped. I stopped the roast when the colour was looking about right and there was a bit of smoke from a few burnt beans (not too many, I just picked out the blackish ones).
But, first crack was at about 178 degrees and I stopped at 201.3 degrees.
So, this seems to indicate that my probe is about 20 degrees off. Ive attached some photos of the probe placement and the roast. Its quite close to the bottom of the pan (10mm off the bottom?) and sticks in about 15-17mm. So its well covered by beans, but perhaps too close to the bottom of the pan?
Any advice?
Simon.
