Hey guys,
I just invested in a $30 drill from Bunnings and made a hole in my Behmor according to Andys template.
After piercing the probe into the roaster, I pre-heated the roaster for 1.5 minutes. I noticed from the corner of my eye, the DMM recorded up to 130C. How is that possible all within a space of 1.5 minutes from a cold machine? Is the probe faulty?
I closed an eye and decided to fill the basket with 207g of PNG Waghi AA green beans that I just received last week from BeanBay.
I managed to roast it CS8 this evening, and used Intellidepths sexy Excel charting tool to come up with the attached graph. As you can see, the DMM recorded a peak of 267.7C at the 11th minute. I always thought the machine would go at max to about 240C or so.
The graph, as you can see, seems pretty sketchy. Is this to be expected?
Now, as part of my learning experience, with this graph in place (assuming no problems with the probe), how can I use it as my template for my next roast? I stopped the machine at the first sound of the 2nd crack. Does that mean I should learn to stop just before 2C in the future?
Forgive me for being a n00b. Thanks again for your help.
See you guys at Beanology Sydney!!!
