Topic: [Homeroast] Reroast? (2 msgs / 42 lines)
1) From: Bill Goodman
Hello fellow homeroasters, I ran my iRoast2 yesterday using 150g of Sumatran Mandheling, and a profile that I thought would take it to about FC+. For whatever reason it fell short, with a lot of unevenness in color, lots of chaff hanging on, and more of a baked rather than roasted aroma...ugh. The only obvious thing under my control that I could change was to make sure all seals around the roast chamber and chaff collector were as tight as possible, so I roasted another 150g worth today, and everything worked fine. This gave me the idea of re-roasting yesterday's batch, which I did about a half hour later, and while the beans look better than before (even color and less chaff), their aroma/flavor still aren't quite on a par with my first roast today. I didn't taste the "baked" beans before re-roasting, so I guess my question is: did the re-roast also help the flavor enough to make it worth the trouble? What experiences have other list members with reroasting? Thanks!

Well, I've never reroasted, but, personally, I would not throw them out without tasting a cup. Not that much trouble, is it?
