I had a similar experience when I started with the Hottop. After experimenting a bit, I decided to follow the guidelines of the Hottop "manual". My standard approach is No fan until BT reaches 300. Then I increase the fan to 25%. About 2 minutes prior to 1st crack, I bump the fan up to 50%. Here is a graph showing my usual approach:

Most of the time I leave the fan at 50% through the end of the roast. For some beans, the roast will accelerate after 1st crack, so I continue to decrease the heat and roast, all the way down to zero.
