I've gone through about 1.5kgs of Harrar in my PID controlled popper, without much success (ie, not what I expected).
I was getting splits in the beans, tipping, a wrinkly surface and a slightly charred taste.
After digging though the threads here, it seems my steep profile early in the roast may be to blame. So I tried a "ramp roast" last night - much better colour, no wrinkling and minimal splitting/tipping. Smells better too.
Pretty excited to see how it tastes in a few days.
I'll post a profile later
