Drum roast profile on a fluid bed
Jim, a profile I have used and liked came from a member of Home roasters forum. It is a 2-step temp profile. I used 325f and then a minute 4, 510f. It gives a fairly straight bean temp curve but tends to dip in the middle before the second stage. I also am getting some scorching
