Needless to say the 2nd and larger batch went alot quicker then the 1st but still with the mods and fans the whole process was alot slower than an un-modified popper.
1st Batch (80 grams)
1st Crack @ 5.40s - 202C
2nd Crack @ 17.50s - 219C
Pulled at 18.05s. I was able to get a 1 deg Celsius rise per minute between 7 min & 13min, then 2 deg C rise after that until 2nd crack.
Roasted to CS9. Roasted weight was 60 grams
2nd Batch (100 grams)
1st Crack @4.20 - 216C
2nd Crack @10.50s - 221C
Roasted to CS9, roasted weight of 80 grams.
I have roasted and tried the Peru Ceja De Selva Estate, which was very nice. Mid bodied, slightly nutty flavour, with very little acidity.
Ethiopian Harrar Longberry, which had very obvious fruit flavours of berries and a lingering chocolate taste. Poured beautifully like syrup from the group head, but the fruity taste is not my thing personally. Might be added to a blend as I progress my skills.
All in all a great start to the roasting world and many thanks to Andy and the great service that he provides.
