Re: Can you judge a bean by its (roast) colour?
Hi again Java,
Actually, your advice was more than just useful. The simple act of applying your suggestions has had the effect of opening up the whole roasting process to a new level of appreciation for me. Its almost as if a "veil" has been lifted or some kind of Taste Mask, for want of a better description, has been obliterated.
I now cant wait to retry some of my favourite beans using the enlightened roasting approach, and am sure it will be just as revealing as my most recent attempts. Will also try your suggestions of blending identical beans from different roast profiles and see what that does for me. Its a whole new world again. As we say here in Aussie Java, your bloods worth bottlin. Now, if I could just find a way to drink my way through the current roast batches more quickly so that I can experiment some more...
Cheers Java,
Mal.
