Maybe I misunderstood, but didn't you under-roast using your Behmor? How did you have burnt beans in there?
I didn't provide much information. I started my roast in Auto, but when the heaters cycled off the first time, I went to P5. By not paying attention to the temp well enough, it went to err2 somewhere around the 8:00 to go mark. When the err2 occurred, if I remember correctly, the drum stopped AND the fans stopped...not a cooling cycle, but a complete shutdown. I figure the beans that were against the drum and facing the now shutdown, but still very hot heaters were exposed to all that heat and began to burn. I even heard a few first cracks. The result of that "roast" was a lot of yellow beans, some greenish, some brown and a few burnt. That's when I tossed them in a container and assumed they were a loss. After I saw your suggestion to re-roast is when I picked out the burnt beans and gave it a go. I'm not at 10,000 hours yet, but this was a lesson for me in paying full attention to the roast.
