I've been meaning to try the bourbon, for some years and 2kg from HB have arrived together with my usual Monsooned. Tried TMC search engine for this bean but not much luck. I'll be roasting tomorrow or Friday.
First question : is 1st, 2nd and Rolling 2nd readily detectable or does 2 and R2 combine?
For espresso, I normally take monsooned about 20 secs into R2 before dumping and aim for a Lt Vienna roast.
My experience with Central Americans in the past is thus : if I abort the roast before R2, my taste buds detect a brightness and acidity, which I detest.
In fairness, I haven't tried that many CA's and my stash is mainly monsooned plus a few Ethiopians (?)!! So the 2nd questions is : has anyone ventured this far into the roast with bourbon and not ended up with baked beans? TIA
