Before we get to harvesting, I wanted to share a tip. Last year I gave some coffee bags a try. I used the ones from morebeer, although I'm sure there are other sources.

Almost a year later and they still smell amazing. There's a one way valve and you are supposed to be able to squeeze the air out. It gets a lot of air out, but not all of it (and it always seemed to suck some back in). I ended up sucking all the air out with a vacuum and quickly putting a piece of electrical tap over the valve.
