First Crack behavior

Hi,

Does anyone else get this small crash after first crack? It happens with a variety of bean, power, and batch sizes for me.

When I look at other people’s graphs, I’ll see a smoother trajectory.

If you do have this, are you satisfied with your roasts?

I’ve tried settings that make the curve look like others, but I get baked flavors when I do. So, I’ve had to keep returning to what the machine seems to naturally do, but that dip after FC also seems to be partially responsible for uneven flavors.

Here is a screenshot of the FC bump and dip nature:

*I added the white arrows to exaggerate the curve.

The temperature RoR lag or dips seem to happen when the most moisture is coming off the beans after yellowing and most notably after FC.
