Hi all,
I am very new to this whole home roasting thing... and I need your help.
My current method is HG/DB, and I have done around 10 roasts this way.
My problem is however, that almost every roast I do is full of badly scorched beans. Really badly scorched.
My typical pattern is to hit FC around 10mins, then SC kinda goes all wrong and just turns into scorch crack at around 15mins. The scorching is so bad that bits of the beans regularly fly off and hit me in the face... that hurts. Appart from the fact that it hurts, it makes for pretty bad drinking in the cup. I am usually pretty careful about making sure the beans are constantly moving.
So... how do I reach SC without scorching the beans??
This is driving me crazy... and hence the reason Im posting at 1am.
