Replaying a roast
After you've created a Reference roast using Gas control, you can use the Replay Assist feature. Roasting Intelligence will automatically adjust the drum speed based on your Bean temperature to match the original roast.
⚠️ Never leave the roast machine unattended while replaying a roast. Cropster replays the roast and captures the details, but you are always responsible for monitoring the roast machine to ensure it is operating safely.
