    Mystery Coffee Bean Swap

I'm...

    Mystery Coffee Bean Swap

    @Br3w4u Upon opening the bag I smelled cherries, flowers and spices. Upon grinding the bean the aroma was cinnamon, nutmeg, cocoa and tobacco. I brewed on the Aeropress using their basic instructions. The hot coffee was fruity with a pomegranate foreground and light grapefruit in the background...

    @applescrap Are you using the porta filter without the pressure basket, with a non-pressure basket or did you modify the pressure basket somehow?

    Port Salut / Saint Paulin

    I started my first B. Linens cheese 25 days ago. It's getting soft and can't support it's shape. I found a larger container and have it on it's side now, maybe I can iron it back into a cylinder. Some of the damage is from my handing. Don't pick up a 2 pound soft cheese by grabbing it from...

    Gruyere problems

    It is. Gruyere will need to be washed with a light brine solution 2-3 times a week.

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

    Mine was 3.0oz green 2.45oz roasted so we're all in the 18%-18.5% range. Most of my previous roasts check in around 15%-15.5%. First crack was about 1 minute later than usual and I dropped it about 1 min later than usual. This was outside at 40F.

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

    My Legacy Farms beans shifted gears today and had much more flavor than the previous days (4 days post roast). I've been mixing it 1 to 1 with some Ethiopian Kochere Hama for some excellent espresso, cappuccino and aeropress pours. I roasted it for 7.5 mins which is about 30 seconds shy of...

    Some starting out questions

    Cheese Cave build

    This was my first cheese. I made it plain. I did not like it, it was just too bland. I took what I had, vacuum bagged it and tossed it in the vegetable crisper in the fridge. I forgot about it. I found it a month ago when it was 12 months old. Now it tastes like Cabot's Seriously Sharp Cheddar!
