This is a log from roasting 1,2 kg (2,65 lbs) of Fiji in a Behmor, recorded using a k-probe and arduino setup. Behmor was set to P2 and 22 minutes, cooling started when temperature of beans reached 127 degrees Celsius (260,6 F). If difficult to read, roast profile is 13,3/2,1/4,25, in total 19,65 (19:39). I wanted to repeat it, to see if same settings would give a similar profile, which it did. More or less the same profile, but this time I left the probe in when cooling. I lost connection and therefore some numbers, but about a minute or two after the cooling had started, the temperature had gone up by some 4 degrees, hitting 130,99 C (267,8 F) before going down. Now some questions - are there any others who record profiles in the Behmor, and any interest in uploading such graphs or profiles for sharing experience? (Or is there already such a thread here that I just haven't found?) What about other ways of roasting, can temperatures continue to rise after you have stopped the roast using other types of roasters? And if so, what do you consider end of roast? When you stop the roast and start cooling, or at the highest temperature recorded?

The temperature still rising after cooling has started is inherent in most temperature probe designs: the probe's sheath has some size and mass, and it takes time for any temperature change to reach the thermocouple's hot junction. The larger and heavier the sheath, the longer it takes. Suggested reading from the coffee roasting world, especially the first two graphs: www.scottrao.com/blog/be-careful-when-interpreting-bean-data
