noob here>Hario Switch >Kingrinder K6>Beans in the picWhy is this shit sour?90 clicks, 92C, submersion for 4 min Is it supposed to taste this way? First sips are not bad it's only when I get to the bottom where it gets very sour.
>>21676598Oh and I used 225G of water
>>21676592>coffee station next to computeryup, i would've lost my mind too
>>21676598Grocery store verve gets another one.
>>21676598as far as i know, light roasts need higher temps (97C)also try grinding finer, i use ~50 clicks for my v60 cups (same grinder)
>>21676598
>>2167659810 minute steep. Boiling water. Agitate for 10 seconds every minute.
>>21676614>>21676620Reee I was told to buy localAnyways, when does coffee go stale?Best by date is in January and it had the roast date in some weird Julian date format which according to that it was roasted on August 13th
>>21676640Best by dates on coffee are typically 1 year out from the roast date. Verve could be different.
>>21676640>localjust means not brandslike if a roaster is the next state over but only has like 1-2 roasting locations thats "local"also you bought a light roastwhich1: harder to brew especially for noobs2: have a higher chance of being sour(this could be a good thing and your palate is simply undeveloped and you are interpreting a good flavor as sour)
>>21676592PISSOUTMYASS
>>21676652Poma?
Made some coffee this morning in a camping percolator because I didn't like how our coffee maker's hot plate would give the coffee a burnt taste.
i decided to stop paying the filter jew. i will just decant my coffee from the brewing cup from now on
SOUP
>>21676661
Did I finally hit a city roast or do those few darker beans disqualify me?
>>21676754>city roastthese terms are meaninglessto me(if the lighting isnt too biased) looks like a medium/lightbut to someone else this could be very light or just mediumas long as its not oily you're good.
>>21676667You can do better, Anon.
>>21676768agtron numbers are not meaningless
>>21676754Looks very uneven.
>>21676754This looks like any light roast I ever bought. Did it taste good?
>>21676777>acktroonwhatever you say city boy
Been buying 3-4 bags of 8-12oz but I decided to get a 2lb bag this time around. I hope it's great.
>>21676754Segregate the light from the dark beans and sell individually. :)
>>21676592>haha look at me destroying my stuff aren't I so quirky and le randomcringe
>>21676827>destroying
>>21676827you got rage baited, unc
>>21676802Don't know I'm gonna wait a few days for them to degas. It's supposed to be a candy sweet anaroebic so hopefully it's good but it's giving me serious red bourbon vibes from the smell and while I like red bourbon I was hoping for a different kind of flavor
>>21676868>days
i should try making coffee kombucha
>>21676883I've done it. Doesn't work too well. Very little preservation of flavor, just makes lightly browned acetic acid water. Use decent puer instead.
>>21676885how did you make it? if it's lightly browned, then you didn't brew it before hand did you?
>>21676895Strained cold brew, flash brew, and hot brew cooled down to room temp(covered to minimize oxidation). Save yourself the hassle and skip it. Try a nice roasty oolong or something instead.
>>21676901so did the color change to be lighter after the fermentation?
>>21676883Coffeebooch is gem
>>21676923> Very little preservation of flavor, just makes lightly browned acetic acid waterI'm referring to "brown" as a flavor, not the color of the kombucha. It seemed to strip any notes you'd expect to come through. Didn't try it with any fucked up coferments though.
>>21676938oh okay. i don't care if it tastes less like coffee. in fact, i have enough experience to know that what comes into a fermentation is not what will come out of it. i just want an interesting caffeinated soda without putting caffeine powder into it
>>21676948So make coffee soda?https://youtu.be/f1vmP-QAA8Y
>>21676955force carbonating doesn't give me the "interesting" part that comes from bacterial byproducts and transformation. people come up with all sorts of fermentation routines for coffee berries, so maybe i can find something that works good with the brewed coffee
>>21676837>do something stupid>hey that's stupid>bruh u got rage baited No you're just a child entertained by other children.
>>21676971The interesting part of kombucha is the flavor. It seems like you just want to make some caffeinated tonic that'll make you shit your pants at record speed and velocity, regardless of the flavor.
>>21676992yes perhaps you are right. i remember drinking ginger kombucha and getting some kind of nootropic boost from that alone. i want to know what feelings i will get from a shot of caffeinated kombucha
>>21676998>drinking ginger kombuchaNow I could see making a coffee tincture and using that to flavor a ginger bug being interesting.
>>21676975Damn unc, you boilin' rn ong
>>21676975
>>21677009Ironic stupidity is still stupidity. You'll understand when you come of legal age.
>>21677007are you aware of any other mental boosters? i want to make a real 1800s tonic now. ginger, coffee, whiskey, cocaine, morphine- oh wait mom said i can't get those. some ephedra tea should do
>>21677033Been doing this shit for years. You havent lived until you've had ephedraspresso.
>Ironic stupidity is still stupidity. You'll understand when you come of legal age.
>>21677047based. do you buy yours from a local chinese medicine shop or online?
>>21677024>legal age.not something you're familiar with.
>>21677082If you have no Chinese stores near you, you can always buy Bronkaid/Primatene, it's behind-the-counter at pharmacies similar to Sudafed where they make sure you're not buying like 7 boxes to make into meth
>>21677146i don't think that is a good idea. if they require ID to sell those, then they will quickly find out that you do not have a respiratory problem and put you on a watch list
>>21677135God I wish, the things I could warn my young self to avoid. I certainly wouldn't be wasting my time here if I had made better life choices that's for sure.
>>21677153Well I mean if you're taking multiple a day daily, not looking for an occasional ephedrine lift. Anyway you can't even get that stimmed off those tbf, they contain guaifenesin so unless you're competent at doing extractions I wouldn't recommend going over ~1g of guaifenesint. personal pharmacological experience
>>21677158no i mean that you are cooked from your first purchase because they can reference your medical history from your ID>customer buys a watched substance>has no medical condition>he is either a smurf or a cook
>>21677165Well I have well documented lung problems going back 20 years and just visited an allergist a few weeks ago, so I guess that's just a problem for people with healthy lungoids like you :^)
>>21677170anyways, i will see if my town has a chinese shop around. i have a feeling that none of them would stock it though
>>21677154>wasting
>>21677178That's the smarter move. I've tried there and they gave me a packet rather than the plant. I just want to try Mormon tea how they did out west 150 years ago, is that too big a thing to ask
Whoever said the Zp6 comes unscrewed while grinding is a dummy. You just didn't put it on good enough.
>>21677193i heard that the ephedra variety that the mormons drank is not very potent compared to the chinese varient. i guess that's why crackheads haven't went and dug all of those wild plants up
>>21677201>zp6 owners are low iqIMAGINE MY SHOCK
>>21676598>>21676618Is it really light roast or is one of those medium roasts sol as light?OP post a photo of the beans.
>>21676592
>>21677082Used to buy kilos off ebay.
2 lbs of lychee
>>21676775What's wrong with my pot? It makes me feel like a old fashioned and the brew comes out smooth. I think assembling it is also pretty fun.
