ROR unstable on first crack

[Aguilar]

Hello everyone!
I have a problem especially with washed coffees.
When I get to the first crack I can't get a stable ROR.
It comes down to me.

That's not entirely unusual... when beans hit first crack, and they start releasing moisture/cracking, you will get a spike in temp. The best thing to do is about 30 seconds below you hitting FC drop your heat down a bit to account for the coming spike. I tend to also like a high fan setting at this stage.. it tends to smooth out the ROR a bit.

Great, I'll try that.
I lower the temperature in the minute 4 "and 5"
I don't know if I would have to wait longer to download it and thus the ror will not drop so much at the end.
sorry for so many questions. I'm a bit new

no prob... its a bit subjective on size of roaster and load... I run a 12K ... I have to drop a good minute in advanced (sometimes more /less depending on bean). My machine takes a bit for the beans to react to changes in gas...

I'll have to try.
my machine is 5 kg I always put 4 kg
It's something that drives me crazy. because there are some coffees that the fall is much more pronounced.

Yea.. and honestly don't overthink it too much. Taste your coffee and adjust - don't adjust simply because the ROR curve isn't linear. I think the technology is helpful but it shouldn't be the only guide of flavor.

Is right. I'm going to have to be more flexible with this issue. Thank you so much for everything
