What are you roasting today?

Possibly too many beans in the roaster? Overfilling will lead to uneven roasts too.

That is very true. You prolly don't wanna go to much past 10 secs into 2nd crack, that will already be a Full City+ roast.

Solid FC+ I think with each roast timed at 6min 30sec prior to cooling off... I sure enjoy popping a few beans in my mouth following the cool down while they are still room temperature for a sampling taste
