this one keeps coming back around me lately. Single-probe roast data looks tidy until the batch actually stalls on paper it should be cleaner than this. real batches say otherwise. one run looks...
been roasting for about 3 years, mostly washed and natural lots. last month got one bag anaerobic fermented from Colombia and honestly I have no idea what I am doing with it. first crack sound was...
throwing this here because the topic is getting louder and my confidence is not getting better. Development time ratio is still useful, but less than people pretend in mixed production weeks forum...
My confusion with color analyzer results that disagree with the cup is that the idea makes sense on paper, but practical execution looks much less clean. The more I ask around, the more I hear...

My confusion with recalibrating thermocouples on production roasters is that the idea makes sense on paper, but practical execution looks much less clean. The more I ask around, the more I hear...
Oke jadi gue lagi belajar analisa roast curve dan nemu istilah DTR alias Development Time Ratio. Katanya ideal itu sekitar 20-25%, tapi gue pernah baca juga ada yang bilang 15% udah cukup kalau...
