Hi guys, I have been roasting with a behmor for a couple of months now and have had nothing but good results so far.
I'm having a bit of trouble with this Indo fella though (Aceh Gunung Bandahara washed), I'm getting a strong bitterness that I want to eliminate/reduce.
I log all my behmor roasts, and here is the latest roast profile used on this bean:
250g into roaster with a 1:45 preheat, using 400g setting, p1 auto til 1C (@ 11:40), then 3 minutes at P2 manual, and then p3 manual til 16:30 and then hit cool.
I wasn't able to hear second crack, but the colour of the beans were looking dark brown, i don't have that colour scale thing to give a reference but i would describe colour as a medium dark to dark roast.
Furthermore, normally after 1c I do 30 secs of no power before re-applying the heat, I didn't do that this time. However, I did on previous roasts but still got that bitterness.
Any advice on my roasting approach will be really appreciated.
Thanks, Ali
