Hi there,
Just purchased a Behmor 1600 + last friday to try my hand at roasting. It arrived today (Monday) in Sydney, which is pretty damn fast postage from Victoria (Thanks Andy!), so I had to give it a go.
I only used 100 grams, as per the instructions given in the box to get used to the process. My issue is, I started the cooling cycle the first time I heard what I suspected was a second crack (The first crack after a 10s or so of silence), but I wasn't quite sure I'd hit it. Looking at the results, I'd say I definitely did - but I'm not sure if it's actually gone in to very dark territory. Want to wait a couple of days before pulling a shot and trying it, but based on this picture - how dark would you say this roast is?
The bean is the Peru Ceja de Selva.

Also, WOW green beans smell very different to the roasted product! A lot sweeter than what I was expecting.
