"What if all the beans don't crack?"

The Roast it Yourself Podcast
About this episode

Episode 19: In this episode, we field an excellent question that tends to go un-asked and unanswered for most roasters, but listener Chris from Minnesota dared to ask it! We discuss what happens when you drop (end) a roast at the beginning or middle of 1st or 2nd crack, how it affects the flavor, and really how to think about how roasting technique affects the flavor profile of the coffee.
