I’ve heard broken beans are a sign that the beans are too dry and that I need to adjust my roast profile. What is the minimum moisture that is acceptable, how do I measure it and how would I go about that?
Ask the Alchemist #202
How can I relate this (the roasting profiles) to what happens in my Behmor, where I cannot control the temperature in subtle ways?
Ask the Alchemist #199
Could I ask your opinion about how the Gourmia compare to the Behmor roaster? I'm thinking of getting either from you. I'm hoping to roast both cacao and coffee beans.
Ask the Alchemist #194
Coming from a coffee roasting background, it's difficult to get away from the roasting precision requirements and theory minutia. I keep telling myself, its not as important with cacao beans, but I still get a little lost trying to plan out what I'm going to do.

Is 'Behmor' impossible to adjust temperature in any profiles?
I read your articles of Behmor and all I could see was the 'Power(%)' of heat and time.
Not exact temperature.
So it looks as if I can roast beans with fixed profiles only.
Because I like to roast with flexible (manual?) temperature and time running.
