Low airflow in early stage: useful for sweetness or just risky?

dua bulan yang lalu

I want to hear real field experience about using low airflow in early roast stage. In theory it sounds useful, but inside daily work it also looks like one more variable to control. Some people around me say using low airflow in early roast stage is already becoming standard practice, while others say the result is too inconsistent to justify the extra effort.

If you have tested this seriously over repeated batches or harvest cycles, what did using low airflow in early roast stage change for consistency, quality, or decision making?
