OK, OK, just a small error. 60 times difference, not much ;)

I would initiate the final stage ramp to be somewhere around the temperature where first crack is a few seconds underway.


Well, I just roasted another batch. Here's the result:

First crack was somewhere around 10:50 to 11:00 minute, at around 210C (410F). I indicated first crack with the vertical line. After that ramp continued for some 1:50 minutes. Per your suggestion, I may prolong the final stage time just a little bit more next time.

I've got a nice light roast, a few beans are maybe even too light:

Roast color is not very even, I am not sure, it may be characteristic for this particular bean type. Will cup in the morning.
