BW didn't take as long as I expected

Other than it being 90 degrees outside the roasting didn't take as long as I thought, only close to 4 hours total. I didn't need to have them in as long as I expected. I'm not sure if that is because they were wet or because the oven was a convection oven.

To the right is cooked BW and the left is the raw laid out on a cookie sheet. Cooked it tasted nutty, and reminded me a little of caramel malt. I toasted the second batch lighter than the first to hopefully give it some balance. The plan is too do a test batch of 5 gallons this week.
