Corretto is humming along very nicely, loving it!
I'm roasting 350g/week. Using the Bosch PHG-630DCE on fan speed two, I've been pretty much using DBC's recommended profile/graph and hitting the start of 2nd crack at spot on 17 minutes.
Andy's DMM arrived last week, so I did my first roast with it drilled into the side of the BBM100. Very pleasingly, I pretty much hit the marks of DBC's graph give or take 203- seconds at each temperature change i.e. 130 degrees, 160 degrees, 195 degrees etc. The beans hit 211C at 17 minutes, and were dumped at that stage.
I didn't log it (using CS's Roast Monitor or the linux-compatible Roast Logger) since I didn't have the USB bit working (it does now), but very much looking forward to the next stage of learning/experimenting
Oh - and I'm getting some different types of beans this week to go with my Yirga and start some blending for espresso.
