Beans arrived from Sweet Maria's today and roasting began as the UPS truck was turning around (entertaining to watch when we get a new driver! Today was our usual guy though. Shrug. Grin.). We've roasted 3 batches so far (we got three types of beans) in our sauce pan with a flat-edged spoon to stir. Wow! What a difference! And that's without letting the poor beans rest overnight. It will be fun to see how they age over the next few days.
I don't know if it is because we're at altitude or what, but there was zero pause (and quite likely overlap) between 1st and 2nd crack. Some cracks were still the louder, sharper cracks as others were softer and more like popcorn. Any ideas why? This was the third batch (first two I only took part way through 1st crack) and had 2 cups of beans (about 2/3 pound) in a large saucepan with thick bottom.
