Hey guys,
I picked up a Behmor 1600+ from a fellow CSer last weekend and just starting on this home roasting journey. On my 1st attempt I tried a full automatic P1 200g roast. As expected, the outcome was not great at all. Grassy + sour tastes on the 2nd day. So I let is rest for a few more days, tried it again but still was on the sour side. Not to mention roast seemed quite uneven.
So I did more reading around old posts here and watched couple of youtube vids. Last friday after getting home from work I went into my garage with some India Elephant Hills aka "beginner" beans in hand. Fired up the behmor and away we went.
On my 2nd attempt of roasting beans ..


Pretty happy about the outcome. It's been resting for past 3 days so hoping it tastes as good as it looks. Did I land somewhere in a medium roast? (Compared it to another medium roast, does look like it)
Also, I was on manual mode and mostly keeping the behmor between 150c-160c for the whole roast, I was wondering if that is a good temperature to hover on or should it be higher ?
Thanks,
Perry
