    ☕ Coffee ☕: Ingredients, Roasting, Grinding, Brewing, and Tasting

    I also have some of the dry process Quto seems quite sweet and subtle fruit tones after just over a week of resting. I did get some misty valley EYC but my first roast was blind because my software crapped out, who knows how that turned out, I haven’t tried it yet. I did my last Taroo roast...

    Decoction

    Well I just pulled the trigger on a completely different induction cooktop off amazon for $53 w/ 1 yr warranty 1800W and a 5.5G SSBrewtech kettle for $109 w/ Free shipping. I can also use the pot in my kitchen if I ever wanted or needed to, and could take the cooktop on camping trips or for...

    Decoction

    Induction works great. I installed an induction cooktop in my home (and had to run 50A service instead of typical 30A for radiant) but makes a huge difference. I forgot the results when I boiled 12 qts of water but it took half the time it did on the radiant setup. My issue is that my boil...

    Decoction

    I found a 18qt SS (Vollrath) pot for around $100 that is induction compatible. That should be large enough for everything but a dopplebock I would think. The induction coooktops I found were 1800W 120V ($299 I think) or 3600W 240V ($160) but that 240V had sketchy durability and only 6 mo...

    Decoction

    Hmm. Yeah I had to make custom cords for my burners because the ones my set up came with were too short where I had my panel mounted so I could make one for an induction burner. Good call on that thank you for the idea. Much easier to get a powerful 240 V induction heat plate. The big issue...

    Decoction

    That and also scooping out the mash without hitting the element, they are fragile and will break. Electrically they break somehow. I did it in my HLT by accidentally bumping the element while stirring to dissolve minerals..

    Decoction

    Thanks, maybe I fiddle with brewsmith to see what kind of volumes. 5 gallons make it easy on the budget but finding a indoor burner powerful enough. Maybe induction, I do have a 50A panel but I’m not sure how I’d run my separate burner off that. Thinking 120V outlet 10A might be enough. I...

    Decoction

    Yeah kinda what I was thinking would be the only way. Need to figure what kind of heating power I’m going to need. Any thoughts? Don’t want propane if I can avoid that. TD

    Decoction

    Only ever did it once and it was a PITA, but the beer came out awesome I now have a new system 3 vessel eHerms 2 elements What are my options for decoction? I wouldn’t think you’d want to direct heat mash in boil kettle with the electric element ??? While stirring, you kill the element, not to...

    ☕ Coffee ☕: Ingredients, Roasting, Grinding, Brewing, and Tasting

    @JuanMoore Thanks for the feedback. Ordered 3lbs, after shipping 10.30/lb which isn't terrible. Supposedly got to watch out for the flip up at the end of the roast. More fan, less heat maybe? TD you run that drill full speed? How much coffee do you roast in that? Detail on the thermometer...

    ☕ Coffee ☕: Ingredients, Roasting, Grinding, Brewing, and Tasting

    How many Bullet roaster owners here? Do you prefer artisan or the Roast World? Ever use the playback feature on roastworld ? I don’t understand how. I had gotten used to artisan but never been a fan of roast world. How do you preheat with artisan? Same way?? I haven’t tried the new artisan...

    OK so my hope plants JUST delivered today... My potting/soil mix already has some slow release fertilizer in there. Suggestions on fertilizing schedule? Tomorrow is May 1, and I haven't even planted them yet - tomorrow or later tonight. We had a TON of rain so the planters should have moist...

    Thanks for the suggestions! Planning to post some pictures of my latest Vintage Roast 2017 crop - mylar vac sealed and frozen in 2019 with oxygen absorber. The freezing brought some life back to them somehow, and revived a blunted First Crack. Can't post from Laptop, will have to post pics...
