Ok, after my success of my first home roast, was very excited to get some indian monsoon malabar into the popper to do some roasting.
With my first roast, tanzanian tagnayikan from the starter pack, i never heard second crack, i went by colour, and the taste was pretty decent.
On saturday, i roasted 5 batches (about 100g a batch) of the monsoon malabar i got from the latest beanbay. second ever roast, and it seemed to take a fair while for the colour to get right. About 14 minutes in, the beans started to pop a little and a small amount sloughed off, flying out of the popper, looked like lots of little hole punch waste.
The colour was approximately 8 on the cs card, so i stopped there.
2 days after roast, i have tried some and it is not undrinkable, but there is very little flavour. Have i wasted my beans? recommendations for future attempts with this bean?
