    OK this is the end result, 500 grams of Sumatra Panjang Mandheling.
    The flash makes some of the beans look lighter than what they are, on the overall roast colour was quite consistent.
    At the time of posting the pic had not tried this batch, have since done so and am not exactly over the moon about it, reckon I stopped too early, its quite light and has an earthy taste! I suspect taking it to second crack would have improved it out of sight.
    This was the last of the bag, as I recall previous darker roasts have been much better, sadly I made no notes so am really only guessing, wont make the same mistake again.



    I recently roasted 600gr this bean
    My notes are
    11.30 first crack
    16.10 second crack
    Pulled & cooled 40 seconds into 2nd crack

    Got a rich ooozy pour and chocolate flavours after 6 days degas

    RE photos with flash
    Learnt from similar photo mistakes to you
    I found that taking photos at an angle gives better realistic photos (but still does not make me a better photographer)

      Interesting, Stopped mine @ a touch over 15 before second crack, I had a feeling they were a little under done, discovered I have another kilo of this one so will roast some more in a few days and take it a little past 2nd crack.
      Thanks for the tips.

        Even tough you may not enjoy brews made with them at the moment, keep trying them every day to take note of how the flavour develops.
        You were right Mal, 7 days after roast and the taste/flavour has changed significantly, most of the earthiness has disappeared and it really has improved, particularly with milk.

              Not completely, its improved but still a long way from being one of my favourites.

                Roasted another batch of this yesterday, took it to second crack, different result altogether, no trace of the earthy notes, could even benefit from another minute or so longer, very pleased with the result. ;D
