I really enjoy a good PNG. Heavy body, molasses sweetness, hint of hickory smoke... terrific to stew over in the morning

looks great, brother. that light, straw colored haze is always a good sign. bet that has a little kick of Dank in it too - with all the fruity/juicy IPA's on the market a little DANK is quite refreshing

Haven’t done a pork butt in ages so I threw one on the pellet rig last night. 12hrs @ 225*. Not sure why the bark came out better than normal but I’m happy with it.

@MaxStout - I’m regards to your scarred glass cooktop. Google search “Cerium Oxide”. It’s the only thing I know of that can truly correct actual scratches & deeply etched in water spots. You’ll need an electric/mechanical/rotary/DA polisher & felt pad.

its hard to believe that much time has flown by honestly. not to get all sappy but i love this thread and all'a y'all:mug: and i second the THANK YOU to @passedpawn for putting this together & and the cool coffee emoji's

Press Pot Kenyan this morning - good way to start a Friday

First go at Ranchera Preparada

If anyone is looking to make a giant leap fwd on your grinder there is a used Monolith Conical for sale over @ HB. These do pop up time to time & this is a gen 1 but the seller is a good dude (so assume it would be a clean transaction & as advertised unit). I slightly prefer the flat burr but...

that sounds good. really good

Kenya Ichamama Triple Wash Crown Jewel. First roast of this AA bean went well. You can see the crash at onset of 1C even though I kept the heat way up until the absolute last second. Drove the roast a bit faster than id like due to that so depending on how it cups I may charge a little lower...

Roasted the last of my 2017 Banko. Only had 8oz left so I added 8oz of Ethiopia Oromia DP from the GCBC. The wife and I enjoyed the hell out of last batch of Oromia about 2 weeks ago - really fruity & easy drinking. Im thinking this will be a terrific blend.

I think mentioned this one a long time ago but Klatch must have a contract & great relationship with this farm. Ive had several year's crops on this & it is the most consistently fruit-punch coffee Ive ever had... wish is remarkable. Its always extremely fruity and ranges from a tropical fruit...

I bought a used Brewista scale. I’ve been happy with it & sure as heck wouldn’t shell out for a Lunar. I don’t used the timer function very often, only for the occasional pour over. I used a bigger scale for the morning filter batch & the timer on the kettle.

SM’s just posted a nice Burundi. 8.8 rating for sweetness. If I wasn’t flush w/greens it would be tempting. Of course there is a nice looking Kenyan AB at Royal Crown Jewels. I’m not sure what they have left in stock but honestly all those Kenyans sounded terrific. It was tough to settle on 1...

PBW works wonders on roaster fans. Those things get caked & I’m always amazed how new they look after a hot soak

Hi All, I placed an order from Royal for a 22lb box of their recent Kenyan offering: Kenya Nyeri Ichamama Triple Washed Red Cherry Crown Jewel They loaded 4 new Crown Jewels today, 3 Kenyans & 1 Ethiopian. All are washed so no Dry Process Ethiopian Berry bombs in this update. All sound...

Oh dang. Well that’s pretty awesome. Are you going full 2lb batches?

That’s the only way to learn. I burned through about the same learning about my roaster & seasoning the drum before I even kept a batch. It’s fun knowing you’re not gonna drink the coffee so can push the limits. Hit 1C in 6 minutes, run it out to 2nd crack - all the stuff I normally don’t do

Been a anxiety filled week for roasting. I dropped my MacBook Pro which broke the screen. This was about 20 minutes into warming up the roaster. Dropped it off for repairs the next day but they quoted a week+ and that was all i needed for an excuse for a new machine. This led to a new...

Does your roaster not have adjustable drum speed? Mine has a potentiometer connected to the ASS-22 to adjust drum speed. Maxed out, it is just barely getting to optimal RPMs. I always let my roaster warm up for 30 minutes prior to the first roast. After it initially climbs to 435*, the...
