I will expand what I have been doing in my long roast. While continually rockingthe Aromaroast to keep the beans heating evenly I bring the temperature up to the point of first crack. This time is where that wonderful matamorphos is taking placethat is need to produce a good roast. This eliminates a grassy or wheat taste from undone beans. Now I allow full air flow which drops the temperature to allow the beans time to slow roast inside. Finally, drop the air flow which brings the temperature up for the grand finally. I am going to experament more with different times to hopefull produce an ideal roast. This first roast was an enjoyable experience. After I drank the resulting coffee I went for a walk and the after tast of deep rich flavor lingered for a long time. As Miss Frizzle says" Take chances, make mistakes, get messy". Happy roasting.
