    Re: Behmor 1600 profiles

    Hello all,

    I have also bought a behmor from Andy this year. Previous to the behmor I was roasting in a popcorn roaster for 5 months. With both the behmor and popcorn roaster I have found that the outside air temp and conditions can dramatically affect roasting.

    My first roast in the behmor was on a cold windy day and with 1lb, p2, c selected I did not reach second crack even with the max extra time added. The next attempt on a hot day I reached second crack with time to spare.

    One of the forums I read suggested using the 1LB, P2, C profiles and then just adjusting the size of the batch you are roasting until you are happy with the settings. When I reach 2nd crack press cool, open the door (and leave it open) and remove the chaff tray. With a closed door the cooling cycle continues cooking the beans for nearly a minute.

    So far I have been very happy with the machine, nicely made, very quiet and no problems hearing 1st and 2nd crack.

      I actually run a 280gm roast so i can comfortably get to second and then just cool the roast early if needed
      phrostyboi how do you cool the roast early when needed? Do you do it externally or just hit the cool button?

      I just got the Behmor from Andy today so am trying to get my head around it before I do my first roast.

      I just hit the cool button when im happy with the roast, I dont cool my beans externally

      When I cool I open the door all the way to try and get the temp to drop a bit quicker
