    Hi Scott and welcome

    I cant give you a definitive answer to your question, but hope the following helps.

    First, I suggest you only place 250gm in the gene - youll be glad of this if things go wrong

    Personally, I think this bean is best when roasted to a dark cinnamon colour (9 or 10 on the CS card). With the last roast I did, I kept the beans at 150* for a full five minutes before steadily increasing the temp - next to 200, then 215, then 230...4 minutes on each setting. First crack came thereabouts and held till the aforesaid colour was achieved, avoiding 2nd crack. The roast can look a little uneven - thats ok.

    Also, check out this thread: http://coffeesnobs.com.au/YaBB.pl?num=1181218773/19#19

    Oh, and make sure you look for rocks, shale, nails, etc. before you grind!

    Let us know how you go

      Did you pre-heat before you start?

      Dennis another question mate. Do you start the time when you get to that particular temp? Let’s say from 150 to 200 if it takes 2 minutes do you only do 2 minutes when you get to 200 or full 4 minutes? Cheers mate

        Scott,

        Thats about the right colour that my Yemen comes out like in the GC, and it does have a slight oily sheen to it. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

        Let it sit for about 1-2 weeks...it likes to have a longer sitting time.

            Hi Guys,
            Just a slight off the topic question regarding the GC. How long do you wait roasting back-to-back? For instance, I have a preference for loading 150g at a time but if I want to then repeat that roast straight up I take my time reloading the chamber, so there’s maybe 3-5 min before I start roasting again, and I readjust my time to allow for the retained heat in the chamber. What’s your experience? Thanks.
