I'm currently using a IR heat gun to measure the temperature of the roast at 1 min intervals. My roasts are mostly around 350g and I try for the hit FC around the 11 or 12 min mark. The temp according to the IR gun is usually around the 215 mark.
My aim is to reach the following temps:
5 mins - 150 degrees
11 / 12min - First Crack (my gun usually reads around 215, sometimes higher, sometimes lower)
up to 14/15mins - stop the roast before SC. My temp from the IR gun is usually around 230.
I know the IR temperature reading is not the most accurate, so I've purchased a couple of cheap K type probes and have just started to use them, but their readings are lower than the temp gun. However, as I am so used to the IR gun readings, it may take me a while to recalibrate my thinking of what the temps should be.
Appreciate if you could share what times and temps Corretto users aim for. Or is a Corretto roast profile no different to other roasters?
