Hi esteemed forum members,
I am hoping to try my hand at home roasting.
Love the forum and all the contributions everyone puts in. However, being a big geek, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestion as to a recommended reading list. I am hoping to get a basic understanding of what happens at the various stages of the roasting process to understand what is going on as we roast the bean.
I have tried roasting once and really did not like the process. Resultant beans had a real green grassy taste. The beans looked the right colour but I suspect I did not give the beans a chance to degas after roasting. But then again, it was a while back and I do not remember the process, just that the result was way worse than ordinary. Hoping some understanding may help overcome this problem and also put me in good standing to be able to change the process as I develop
Thanks in advance for any help!
