Re: Breville Crazy Popper
I honestly dont think you need to do that CK,
The times you posted above are a bit quick if anything so choking the air flow will only serve to speed things up even more and thats not what you need. Try reducing your batch size down to 80 grams as a starting point, assist the agitation until the beans are moving freely on their own, note when 1st Crack starts and finishes (if possible) and then when 2nd Crack starts.
It would really be worth your while to let this roast go right through until the beans are almost charcoal so that you can record the various milestones and then be absolutely sure that you are in fact getting to 2nd Crack. We all had to go through this learning stage CK, its half the fun.... just need to be very observant, have your stop-watch handy and a pad to record the times, ambient temperature, etc and your nose at the ready and then go for it ;D.
Let us know how you get on.... All the best,
Mal.
