In preparation for roasting the Yemen I will be receiving tomorrow ;D does anyone have any tips for roasting this little nugget. I haven’t home roasted this bean before (just from a professional roaster) and from what I know it’s a very small bean not dissimilar in size to the Mao Horse.
I plan to roast with the head gun with a successful technique used for the horse (thanks fatboy) with a reduction of heat post 1st crack and let it cruse into the second. Then the question, where to stop?
I rate the two beans similarly and should be a good side-by-side comparison as a SO, Horse vs Ismaili (sounds kind of like a title fight huh).
Any suggestions on roasting technique will be appreciated.
Cheers

oh no!!!
I roasted Monday night to just before the second crack and the result was quite good, not quite like I remember from the commercial roaster but pretty close. I think the roast went too long at 18mins as I was expecting with such a small bean it would be quick but it was the opposite. I need to spend some time dialling in I guess.
