Time to seriously step up my roasting game! So excited about this! This will allow me to roast enough for farmer's markets now, which I plan to do. Get those coffee orders in!

So if anyone would care to nerd out with me a little, I've got a little coffee education for ya. For those that don't know, coffee actually starts out as a seed inside a berry that looks like a slightly larger cranberry. So to get the seed (yes seed, coffee is not a bean), you have to remove the fleshy fruit part. Part of the process that helps remove it is fermentation. Mainly the coffee industry uses aerobic fermentation (fermentation in the presence of dissolved oxygen), but this coffee from Zambia was processed with anaerobic fermentation (no oxygen). Sounded interesting to me, so I roasted some today. Not too long afterward, I opened up the bag and it smelled like chocolate covered mixed berries. And I mean fresh strawberry, blackberry, and blueberry. Needless to say, I am giddy. Hopefully it tastes as good as it smells!
Hashtag coffee nerd.

Overstock sale! If anyone needs coffee, everything in stock is $15/lb. I have Colombia, Honduras, Zambia, and a ridiculous amount of Ethiopia.

Making a witbier (minus the pawpaw this time, unfortunately) for . I got dill for my secret ingredient. No idea if it'll work, but I want a wit. So here's to taking chances! Cheers 🍻

I think this is what they call going off the deep end - 65lbs of coffee! I started roasting a couple years ago when Becca got my first stovetop roaster, and I was only buying a few pounds at a time. Now there's no going back. Roasting my own has been a game changer. And I'm trying to grow. If you can support by buying coffee, that's great! Or if you just want to help me grow and don't care for coffee, that would also be awesome! I have a Gofundme here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/xn85r-coffee-roaster?sharetype=teams&member=3873532&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=customer&utm_campaign=p_na+share-sheet&pc_code=ot_co_dashboard_a&rcid=972732e7afde4b0da9aef275e8bd615a

Who needs some coffee??? This one will be $15/lb.

My super ultra expensive high tech (not really) chilling system for knockout, and a picture of the final wort. I don't have a name or style for this one, just threw some stuff together for my first lager at home. My guess is it'll be close to a Marzen. Now that I have a working glycol chiller I felt like doing one.
I guess I have to wait now...
Oh well, Kowabunga dudes 😎

Time to get this brew day started! The mash will always be my favorite part of the process. Smells like warm bread, biscuits, and oatmeal in here.

I'm pretty pumped about this! My dad is an awesome artist and designed my new coffee label! This will be on all future bags of coffee.
If you don't already know, Kowabunga has always been his nickname for me, and this is the kind of vibe I think of with that name. Dad, you freaking nailed it!
Kowabunga, dudes 😎🌊☀☕
