Roast is uneven with wrinkly surface. What am I doing wrong? - Page 2

Thanks so much for all the incredibly valuable feedback.

I am going to give the beans a go tomorrow and see what they taste like.

Hi guys, I had an espresso from the beans this morning. They taste pretty salty, not much acidity in there just a earthy salt taste. I was hoping to get some nice sweet acidity coming through but that was not the case. I will roast another batch today with the suggestions that you gave.

I don't really think your roasting is "wrong" just because of the rough surface. If you want to experiment, more airflow will cause quicker heat transfer and will cause the bean to swell (i think from quick water vapor formation) and will cause the "round" you're looking for. Haven't decided whether that necessarily means a better tasting roast. Haven't cupped that specific experiment enough.
