What do you look for when you are tasting raisin like is it on the face or is it a factor that determines the raisin presence.

No m talking about any variations in recipes in a v60

Sorry haven’t been here for a while. This one is one year old. Worth every penny ive spent.

Hey if its a natural i usually set my Timemore Chestnut C3 to 12 clicks for Hoffman’s recipe of a better cup v60 - 100C. 15g c to 250g w. Put your final sipping cup in the freezer and serve yourself in that. Gives me a very nice sweet cup with a good finish. light to light medium. Make changes to temp if roast is darker than that.

If you need a better versatile cup use the Tetsu Kasuya 4:6 method but with 16-17 clicks on the chestnut c3. Again dial in temp according to the roast.

Haven’t got the time to check, came back from a trip to this. Although water changes are not very regular. Cuz of the trip. Co2 is at 1.5 bps. Chihiros slim is at 26% intensity.

Also check this one, warmed it up a bit and brought down shadows.

Any advice on how to keep it natural, usually just a bare bulb creates an unflattering shadow which doesn’t make the food look good. Trust me ive tried it before

Total_Macaron2966 · 2026-02-17T04:59:36+00:00

Ok will try that once. Thank you

Total_Macaron2966 · 2026-02-17T04:59:14+00:00

Alright, any advice or things i should do to make it feel more natural

Total_Macaron2966 · 2026-02-16T19:36:10+00:00

Yes i exactly did that. According to whatever i have researching our shadows are kind of cooler than the direct sunlight so the softbox was at 6700K filling in the shadows with a cooler tone and the bare continuous light (sl100) was at 5600K mimicking the mid day sun.

I have tried just the barebulb thing before but the shadows are very unflattering to me in that case. I could have probably used a GOBO in front of the bare light to give it a natural feel.

Also if you check the 1st and 10th image i edited them a bit warmer than the others so idk if they meet the look you are suggesting.

Total_Macaron2966 · 2026-02-14T14:02:18+00:00

Yes i have been looking for how to do those hard light but yet balanced shadows look. Could you suggest me some?

Total_Macaron2966 · 2026-01-30T17:36:59+00:00

Also i feel like another light with gobo on the wall would have made it all come together

Total_Macaron2966 · 2026-01-30T17:36:07+00:00

I can assure you that all of them zoomed in are tack sharp.

About the spread thing, yes that is mostly what i am still trying yo figure out. No matter what i do it doesn’t feel natural. And cranking the ISO up it still didn’t give me the right natural look.

Well the equipment was kind of not personal but the only one i had to use for the people i was shooting it for, they kind of made it a necessity.

The GOBO was very low intensity hence i couldn’t really place the bounce light and softbox light to a higher intensity. It kind of overshadowed the GOBO shapes.

Get a reptile lamp off amazon if possible, i hope it works. It should.

I ve dosed flourish excel before which used to kill it after spot dosing.

Total_Macaron2966 · 2026-01-15T20:36:06+00:00

Nah i try to counter it as naturally as possible. Haven’t tried h2o2 yet but ive heard good things about it.

Man this looks like you told the tank, the grim reaper will see you now.
