... at about same time and it was a FC+ batch, darker than I wanted but all in all a very nice cup Lots of dark fruitiness. The other was done in the Behmor and I was able to stay away from it till this morning. It came out at a c-c+ level and was much more complex, not as sweet as I expected but ...

... I will definitely need to buy a couple of thermometers: one to measure the ambient (room) temperature, out of curiosity, and one to measure the Behmor's internal temperature as it heats up. I probably won't post much more in here until the thermometers arrive.

Recently I roasted up a 1/2lb. of the Brazil Cerrado DP Fazenda Aurea that came with my Behmor, and it was smooth chocolate! Almost like hot cocoa, but a little sweeter, with a thicker mouthfeel. I roasted it to FC+ to get this. Hey! I just got a Behmor, and some of ...

Ijguitar, I tried your protocol on some Sweet Maria's Moka Kadir. Excellent-- thanks! I just got my Behmor, and have been trying to dial-in the killer MK roast, as it is a fav of mine. Today's log (MK#4): 13.5 oz., estimating ~13.25 oz. after smalls shaken out on cool cycle ...

... I have never had any success if the roast is stopped before first crack is complete. I've roasted a first batch at what I would call City+ in the Behmor. I would certainly echo Rick's comments above in being disappointed with the brewed cup and that more work tweaking is needed. I suspect the ...

1. & 2. Overview & Details Tonight was the same setup as above, plus 15 seconds. 3. The Roast The results were a bit different. I'm thinking last night's 6:05 first crack was a total fluke. Hints of C1 began at 7:25. The roast continued until 8:55, so there was 1:30 between the very very st...

1. Overview One quarter pound, P1, probably undercooked. This roast may have been a partial success or more likely it may be baked and sour and unpleasant. I'll find out when I brew tomorrow morning with it. 2. Details Bean: Sumatra Mandheling, Organic Weight: 113g Profile: P1 Duration: 8:40 First ...

I'm a first-time home roaster. I'm going to log some roasts here on occasion for posterity. Feel free to add your own roasts here. In fact, please do. EDIT: here is a link to a spreadsheet. There is less commentary but it's more organized. https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AqTo7m1STJwfdGpmWFB...

May be getting this dialed in... Did a couple of small roasts yesterday: A Costa Rica on P1, which turned out at Vienna -> French, but tastes very good. OMG P1 is fast! An El Salvador SHB Natural (DP?) on P2 to FC -> FC+ Today I started in on the Moka Kadir MK#1 ~6.5 oz. (6.75 oz. after shakeout of ...

Just ordered and received a Behmor 1600 and ran through the first roast last night. I am glad they recommend starting with 1/4 lb. I was using a Colombia Suprema bean, and everything was going good, heard it get into the second crack, reached ...
