I found time to do two roasts on Friday night. A decaf, which I'll talk about in a different thread and a five-bean blend. The 5-Bean blend started out as a four-bean suggestion from RichardM, but morphed into something else on the fly. I'm trying to use up some of the beans that haven't seen much action yet. It was; 180g Kenyan Dorman Estate 120g PNG Kimmel 120g Dominican Republic Cibo Altura De Constanza 100g Brazil Daterra Estate Sweet 80g Monsoonal Malabar I roast on the balcony, so the last few weeks it's been challenging trying to find a time when the balcony isn't soaked or actively being rained on. So when everything calmed down a bit on Friday night, I grabbed it. The decaf was first and went well, but by the time it was over the weather was closing in and the radar was showing a large bank of rain coming my way. I went for it, but missed the start of second crack because the wind was so damn loud! Pulled at 19 mins in the middle of rolling second crack: 
It was a fair bit darker than usual, but still very even. I've been trying it daily since and I think the MM is a little ashy in this case, but the flavour is growing nicer each day. Hopefully it'll last long enough for me to taste it in its prime! I probably won't go this dark again.
