Roasting Notes:

Was aiming for Full City, finished lighter than I wanted, and FC seemed to take a while to "finish"
Beans aren't very dense, so volume was bigger for the same batch weight, which I think soaked up a lot of my charge heat. Maillard phase was pretty short. I think charging higher to get to DE sooner, will help let us linger in Maillard longer.
