By controlling the heat ramp up, you control the 'brightness' or 'body'.
For instance, if I am looking for a roast with more body, I ramp up the
temp slowly until I've hit the level I'm looking for.

roughly :
5 min @300
5 min @350
5 min @ 400
476 until degree of roast is attained.

For brightness :
5 min @300
5 min @400
475 until degree of roast attained.

Of course, there are lots of different ways to approach the profile,
those are just two basic ones that are a good way to start while you are
learning.

I've switched to the Behmor 1600 because I think it does a better job up
to Full City roasts.  I seldom go further than this.

But for a darker roast, the Gene seems to do a better job.
