I checked out your post and the YouTube video-it's impressive! Have you successfully decreased the flow? I'm not sure if this had any meaningful negative (or maybe positive) impact on taste but it doesn't look normal.

Dry end time vs. Drying time

No; I don't have any automatic events set... I dump the beans in and then immediately hit charge on the laptop touchscreen. I also note dry end, FC and drop manually. Just to be clear, the 4:03 that was noted as "dry% time" was as the roast was in process (after TP was automatically marked at 1:15)

ACS waiting times

Excitement rising. Our new Vostok ordered in early February is now en route to us, supposedly to be delivered later this week. Black with safety system and V handle. I will be fabricating wooden side panels and turning handles to match our cabinets. Will be my first exposure to a lever machine. Upgrading from a Rocket HX unit.
