Hi again. Just curious about rh agtron measurements. The 25584 batch had an identical development time of 1:31 and a higher end temp but a lighter agtron score compared to 25585 batch which did have a slightly longer total roast time. According to the chart in the video both development times were 1:31. Trying to make sense of the lighter color measurement as a roaster newbie.
Thank you.

Normally, higher end temperatures and longer roast times correlate with darker colours. However, I'm finding on the Loring, that internal bean development is 'easier' and this needs a recalibration of thinking. In this case, I think the key is the heat application through first crack. One roast had slightly higher-for-longer heat through a key phase of the roast. On the cupping table, they both displayed the qualities I was looking for. The higher temp coffee had a better mouthfeel and sweetness.

Curious what the roast level or agtron level was for this coffee for each batch?

[@rjameswilkins]

Using our Lighttells roast 25584 was 90.9 and 25585, 85.8.
