Re: Pls Help! GeneCafe suddenly doing weird roasts
I still think your temp is too low JB. I work both of my Genes pretty hard and found that after the initial mid 220s roasts, Im now up to 228 and will sometimes increase that to 232 post 1st crack just for that little extra push with some harder beans. Also, washed beans roast cleaner than dry hulled beans. I weigh my beans to the gram and always roast 300gm.
Check that the vents are clear- allowing air flow. I often blow some air through dry hulled stuff if Im roasting it alone to clean it up a little before I load the drum. In addition, I have been pre-heating to 150 deg and then stopping the roasterl loading rapidly and going from there. Even then, I typically roast for at least 19 and sometimes closer to 21 minutes.
