Sumatra Wet Process Pantan Musara Roast

Newbie Posts: 5 Joined: September 30, 2020	Hi HomeRoasters, I've been trying to use the percentage lost during roasting to dial in my home roasting skills and had a quick question. First of all is this a crazy idea? I've been using these percentages: 12-15% for light roasts 15-17% for medium 18-24% for dark However, my roast today looks pretty dark, probably medium to medium dark in roast, but my percentage lost was only 14.5%. Did I heat the beans too quickly? Any advice is highly appreciated! Best wishes, Alex

For anyone answering with some skill. I think knowing your setup is important. There are soo many things that contribute or alter your roast performance. For many, much of this info seems to be "ancient Chinese secret". Funny, I have a boston stoker coffee factory in my town. I can't get anyone to talk to me. Outside stalking the workers to see if they hit the bar to ask them questions. No one who answers the phone will offer any advice or real conversation.

I don't roast into 2nd crack. As old man wrote, depends on beans origin. I have an Eth Guji Mulish that comes pretty dark even at 14%, which is medium for me.
