Today was my first attempt at a corretto roast (thanks dailybean). I had my heatgun pointed to the far corner of the BM pan and the thermo probe in the bean mass at the opposite corner.
As you can see from the attached pic I got a little carried away after first crack in trying to slow the roast (too much control for my own good). From first crack to second I kept trying to find a balance where the temp would slow, but instead I think Ive stalled it a couple of times. Waited for second crack to start snapping and then dumped beans into seive. Roast didnt look too bad, not sure how even the peaberry should look. You might also notice one of the beans has a sizable divot taken out of it (presumably during second crack). Is this normal?
Id guess the beans are roasted to around CS-9? (Coffee Snobs 9)
All in all the correttos looking promising. This 1 roast would have taken me 3 popper roasts to produce (and about 3 times as long with the cool-down between).
