Roast log: Nicaragua Santa Guadalupe (Cup of Excellence 2010 lot #4)

First roast of this one. Huge pacamara beans from the 2010 Nicarague cup of excellence lot #4. Only a few small defects. I've got two kilos of this to get through, so hope it tastes as good as it looks. Other greens just arrived; Kenya Gethumbwini AB, Kenya Kagunyu AA, and another COE from El Salvador.

Roasted up evenly. I dropped at a pretty high heat, and ended up at first crack at 9:45, pulling the roast at 13:00 for what i would call a light espresso roast depth. Bagged and sealed, we'll see how it tastes in a few days.

Update: Roasted this too light for espresso (too acidic) but tasted great in the chemex. Needs a longer roast around 15 mins.
