Been away for awhile. I agree for drip is the same. Supposedly "freshness" is a real thing but so is "rested" coffee a thing. In my experience I have enjoyed fresh roasted coffee less when brewed within 10 days of roasting, than when brewed after that. I think It needs to be rested for...

Agreed. I like the Jalapeno ranch water. Just a bit of spice to make it interesting and refreshing.

I agree 100%. Well typically I add a splash of water and occasionally ice, but I digress. No mixed scotch drinks for me. My brother in law likes rob roy, like a Manhattan but with scotch. In that case, use the cheap stuff.

And actually, I may make it to a lesser % so as to enjoy more and have it refreshing. Can always add more tequila. I disagree about “wasting” a nice reposado. Anejo yes, but reposado, no. Similar to mixing scotch drink with a blend like Johnny Walker Red in my opinion.

is actually 5,99% ABV. I’ve adjusted the ”recipe” to reflect 3L 80 proof in 20L/5gal is close to 6% if it cost $1 a can I would just buy it, but it is significantly more, sold in four packs $13 each plus tax.

Per the official webpage of the Ranch Water I am trying to replicate, they use a 100% agave reposado tequila from Mexico they contract with. Just trying to copy so I think reposado I'll use, but I may make an experiment to see if I can tell the difference between reposado or the regular...

this is probably true

Howdy! Been a bit inactive as a homebrewer. Availability of great commercial beer is the primary reason plus none of my friends ever help me drink and its too much for one person. Also, I am beginning to suspect I may be developing a gluten allergy... That could eventually bring me around to...

by the end of the year, I’ll be through using my past crop overbought surplus of beans. Roasted Java beans on Sunday along with bookisa and Bombe and silcho bedame special process. Never had that last one turn out as great as I was hoping it would. Fun to try though,

Roasted the first pound of the Ethiopian Bombe and seems to be the biggest blueberry Bombe ive had in years.

I agree @corkybstewart , no need for bells and whistles. I use auto drip Behmor. I have begun fiddling with brew temps, 195 for African and 205 for Americas. I don't usually drink other varieties. Can't say its a huge difference but seem to pick out a little more fruit character in the dry...

How you like that machine? I like their products, but haven't taken the espresso plunge yet - maybe I never will.

ordered 5lb Bombe DP at SMs just now. anyone else?

I been working through my Bookisa supply. Also, my freezer stash is running low - you know, the green coffee I overbought, and then it started getting stale, with muted 1C such that I couldn't hear it. Mylar bagged with OxyAbsorber has reversed the staleness of the beans. Nobody took me up on...

Anyone ever drink Chai? What the heck is it? Kinda curious TD

I live in FL. I have a "basement" which is a rarity in FL, but its really a walk-out storage room that I have to go out onto my back porch, down some stairs, and unlock the door to get into it. My house lot is sloped from the front to the back, and the basement room is below the back porch...

Probably only included for the people ordering THIRTY pounds a LOL! Nice though, i don’t think I’ve ever ordered from them before.

Dang! Thirty pounds of greens there! That would be a decent 9-10 month supply using around a pound a week as the sole coffee drinker in my home. They should stay fresh at a comfortable ambient temp in your home, assuming you don’t have a huge supply of other greens you’ll be roasting.

Ditto! being a parent is the hardest job you will ever love. agree on light roasting, it’s the whole reason to roast your own because can’t find anything commercial like it where I live. Will be more diligent to drop at a lower %. I will say the Ethiopian stuff I normally roast I sometimes...

Roasting today. Going to try the HarborTown method on my bullet and see how it goes. I was going to clean my filter with before and after pics, but it looks like it doesn't need it yet, so will do that another time. TD went well. I left my phone on chRger or I would’ve taken pics. The ROR...
