Not necessary. If you are thinking of trying to have closer control your ferm temps you could consider a kegerator large enough to ferment and serve from. I prefer this method myself and kegging beats the pants off of bottling if you haven’t started yet. Just my opinion.

I’m down for round 2 for sure!

B was Brazil, very close. C was Columbian and wasn’t my favorite either. D is Indonesian Bali Blue Moon and was also my favorite of the 3. For the price though that Brazilian was a great deal, it was on sale on burmans for around $4 a pound and was still a very nice coffee.

I got my mom in to coffee roasting now. She found a popcorn roaster like mine at a thrift store for $3! I wish I had thought of that but oh well. I got her a Bodum French press for her birthday and she’s been checking out Sweet Maria’s. :rock:

:eek: “There’s a good saying in Tennessee, well it’s a good saying in Texas, I’m sure they say it in Tennessee too.....Fool me once...shame on you. If you fool me I won’t get fooled again!” I guess that saying wasn’t true....completely wrong continent! Thanks for the challenges. That was fun.

@HarborTownBrewing Ok so I think I have this down now but I’m probably wrong. My wife and I both agree mystery bean 2 has a dominant unsweetened cocoa flavor. I feel like I get some earthy tones too. I am sure this is a south or Central America bean. I want to say Columbia or Brazil. My wife...

I think if you washed your roasted beans you would get something similar to decaf wouldn’t you? The kitchen aid mixer is a great idea!

@HarborTownBrewing I roasted the bonus mystery beans last night to a medium roast. I feel like I know what these are but I want to wait to submit my answer until I try them tomorrow morning. I get a nutty chocolate aroma from the roasted beans in the bag and it is very familiar to me.

I agree but would add some of the crystal 15 myself.

Spot on! I get the cherry tobacco very strong in that one and I love it.

You have the exact same office coffee set up that I have except for my pour over is black.

Oh yeah no Bullet in my future but maybe this can help sway her vote. I don’t know why I call it a vote if there is only one that matters LOL

@HarborTownBrewing what roaster did you use for these beans?

Interesting. I haven’t tried a Tanzanian bean until now. Very good! My wife said it’s perfect and she said it’s the best home roasted coffee she’s had yet.....she’s only had mine so.....

Looks like mold but I don’t think it will hurt your beer as long as you don’t mess with it.

That was about how far I went also.

As it cools down I get more sweetness mixed with the acidity and the fruit is maybe more cherry/cranberry which makes me think more towards Ethiopian so my Kenya guess is probably wrong. Hell Ethiopian is probably wrong too, what do I know LOL. It is excellent coffee though. I would buy this.

Ran home at lunch and grabbed my coffee from the mail box. Came back and used my trusty pour over that I keep in my desk. The roast is excellent! The flavor is high in acidity, and has a fruitiness to it. Maybe apple? It smells very savory. I am going with Kenya.....final answer.

@HarborTownBrewing thank you sir! :mug:
