Hello, I recently got a Quest M3 after 2+ years using a Behmor. Just starting to play with it using the 'easy roast' method until my probes and digital thermometer arrive. I have a question though - some of the beans have a flat burned out section - see photo. Any advise or comments? Thanks in advance.
Hello
I have seen these quite often in my roasting (hot air) - either with heat gun or my WIP fluid bed.
Usually I get these craters from going too far into 2nd crack.
Put it this way, if I stop at the very start of 2nd crack, I will never get these. See this video - Tom from Sweet marias states that these occur during 2nd crack. skip to 3:30 to see exactly what you're talking about
