Guatemala roasting profile

Hello,

I always get tipping on my Guatemala roasts. Even if I reduce the PH temperature a lot (I started with 220 deg C). Can someone help me to roast the Guatemala washed bean to a City plus roast with chocolate/ nut flavour?

Thanks a lot!

I use that preheat temp (220C or 240C) for 800 gram roasts. You’re doing 150g? Probably too hot. (edit: oh, I see you did 165C PH. that seems appropriate for a small batch)

150g can be hard to dial in on the bullet, because the bean probe not touching a lot of beans.

My first suggestion would be try a larger batch size (250? 300?)

I agree that we need to increase the size of the batch.
Dark chocolate and nutty flavors need to be as medium dark, and you need a certain amount of beans to withstand the heat well to proceed with roasting to dark brightness. another roasting over 600g of other people’s Brazilian and Guatemalan medium dark recipes, and fixing them to prevent roasting defects from coming out.

Thanks a lot, do you guys have a roasting profile for a 300g or more batch size?

Starting at P9 for 150g batch will scold your beans no matter what pre heat setting you have. Try starting at a gentle power setting for that batch size
