Have about 8 roasts on a target popper under my belt now, and whilst I have no problem detecting 1st crack (usually at somewhere between 4 and 8 mins), I dont think Ive heard second crack once.
As a result, Im ending roasts by eye (anywhere from 12-18 mins, depending on ambient temp), but I think Im slightly over-roasting them to my tastes.
How long after 1st crack is second crack likely to be? Am I perhaps not reaching a high enough temp with the popper?
Any tips?
