On Christmas Eve, I roasted about 2/3 pound of Nicaragua Matagalpa Pacamara Peaberry in 2 separate roasts. I noticed a very inconsistent size to the green beans before I roasted and this carried over to the roasted beans. In addition, these beans became much larger than other beans that I have roasted leading to a more inconsistent roast because the chamber became too full and the beans were not able to circulate properly.
My roast profile was:
325 degrees for 2 minutes
400 degrees for 3 minutes
460 degrees for 3 minutes
My finish time (after 4 minute cool down) was 9:20 for roast 1 and 9:10 for roast 2. I started with 150g for roast 1 and 140g for roast 2. The finish weight was 125g for roast 1 and 116g for roast 2.
I gave away half of the roast as a present, and brewed the other half on Christmas day. It made about 20 cups. While I had a few too many glasses of wine (perhaps my next hobby to blog about) to give an accurate description of the subtle nuances of the cup, it was well received by several food snobs...it runs in the family.
