Need a profile suggestion for Sweet Maria's Liquid Amber

[ThreeDogNight]

Just bought a Gene Cafe and have done a few roasts using Burman's Espresso blend. I wanted to try SM's Liquid Amber. Does anyone have any suggestions for a profile?
Thanks in advance

- I use Liquid Amber every day. Its my favorite espresso blend. I roast in a Genecafe (post March 2007). There were some serious issues in Europe with pre March 2007 models. I purchased one when they first arrived in the UK & had to re-buy the later model. So, this is the profile I use for a full chocolate flavour with butterscotch undertones. You will need to convert my "C" temps to USA "F".

238'C to 1st crack which normally arrives after 12.5/13.0 minutes. Let it roll for 1 minute then reduce temp to 236'C to completion after 15.5 minutes just into 2nd crack. The Gene will take the beans to completion as they cool.

LA can be roasted a little lighter or a little darker to suit your personal taste. I make my espresso in a La Spaz Vivaldi 2 at a temp of 92'C. Enjoy
