So, I am getting really into this roasting thing. LOL. I have my Behmore, that apparently has made it's rounds here, and I am really digging it. I roasted a darker roast, took it into the Second Crack, and while I liked it, the wife did not. My latest attempt was a Columbian Inza Vereda from Sweet Maria's. I did a light roast where I basically took it about 45 seconds to a minute after FC started. Wife liked this much better, and to be honest I did too. Had a much different flavor than the Big Brew places, Starbucks Peets and Philz, while still maintaining a nice coffee flavor. My wife was asking if I could maybe take it to a medium type roast, to which I replied, "Sure, I can do that" as any red blooded novice who doesn't want to admit that would do. So, my question to the pro's is, would medium be more towards the two minute mark after FC? I don't want to hit second crack, but I know this all subjective to what the roaster will do. Just asking for any input on how you all would approach a more medium roast vs a lighter roast. As always, Rock On!!!!!!!!
