Hey people,
I was wondering one thing; it sometimes takes 4-5 sessions to find the correct settings to follow the curve. What do you do with all the roasts you have? Do you taste them or think they are useless until you follow the curve?
What to do with the roasts
Re: What to do with the roasts
Hi Utkuyzc!
I'd definitely keep and cup those first few samples over a week or so. Just because they didnt follow the profile curve perfectly doesnt mean that they cant be a useful tool in honing both your tasting and roasting skills. It can be really useful to know what a flick or a crash actually tastes like in the cup, and will help you to detect future defects more quickly. Plus some that you may have written off could actually pleasantly surprise you.
At the end of the day, cold brew is pretty forgiving too....
