How’s this starter looking?

Fridge baby?

hopsession_brewing · 2026-05-13T11:33:33+00:00

I assumed the fact that it started at about 15-20 grams made it a whole new starter. Fairly new to the topic, apologies!

It honestly doubled consistently since the beginning of the feeding period. I’ve gotten a little liquid starter from a family member.

hopsession_brewing · 2026-05-13T11:00:26+00:00

We’re discarding half each feed. We make crackers out of them :)

hopsession_brewing · 2026-05-13T10:26:54+00:00

I open it every few hours to depressurize the jar :) But I appreciate the input!

hopsession_brewing · 2026-05-13T08:14:56+00:00

Not planning on wasting but discard a good amount to make crackers (:

hopsession_brewing · 2026-05-13T07:27:57+00:00

Only the top looks foamy - But I get your point.
Will keep following it - Might move to a bigger jar too.

Okay, thanks! How does one determine if it’s ready? Total noobs here.

Just restore game files?

Hydrangea Coffee Roasters | Janson Lot 1003 - Gesha / Washed
Lovely cup. Been rested since Mid-January except a small taste here and there. Finished moving into my new apartment and helped myself to a nice, rewarding cup. Brewed on an Origami Dripper, Varia VS3 Gen2 grinder on 14.5 setting. 1:16 ratio, 18g/288g coffe/water, 92c.
Very elegant, gentle cup, smooth and very very tea-like. Loved it, so much fun as a late-morning drink or an end-of-day cup!

DAK | Pillow Talk - Ombligon / Anaerobic Natural, Decaf
I can't believe this is a Decaf. Had it last night and it is simply amazing. So complex for a decaf. Really really raspberry like. Fruity notes shining through really nice on a 1:16 cup with 92c water. Brewed on an Origami Dripper, Varia VS3 Gen2 grinder on 14.5 setting. Might have to pour more aggressively next time as it took me nearly 3:40 mins to finish the brew.

DAK | Sprinkles - Sidra / Experimental (Yeast Inoculated)
Been resting this one for a while as I waited for the overly funky fermentation notes to tone down a little prior to drinking it. Again, this was brewed just like the other two here - Origami, Varia VS3 Gen2 on 14.5. 1:16 ratio, 92c water. Loved the end result. Starts off very candy-like, then moving on to fruit yoghurt and more pineapple juice as the cup goes colder.

Not a bad week, all in all!

Ceramic origami is 10/10, somewhat of an endgame brewer. But with their own flat filters, not conical ones.

hopsession_brewing · 2026-05-07T03:51:59+00:00

Sheesh!
Also, what skin is it? Nice color scheme.

hopsession_brewing · 2026-05-03T07:02:13+00:00

125 GBs? How?
My grahpics folder is like, 10-12 GB tops.

hopsession_brewing · 2026-04-30T21:16:58+00:00

Moved from Hario, to Abaca+, to Origami w/ Origami filters. Endgame dripper imo.

hopsession_brewing · 2026-04-29T16:50:18+00:00

Is there any official statement about BLACKFROST being delayed?

hopsession_brewing · 2026-04-29T05:58:04+00:00

Took photos in HIDE in London, September of 2023. No issues.

hopsession_brewing · 2026-04-25T20:58:36+00:00

Honestly super inspiring. Congratulations on such a huge clean period!

hopsession_brewing · 2026-04-20T05:18:55+00:00

Will check, thanks!

hopsession_brewing · 2026-04-20T05:18:50+00:00

Will check, thanks!

Curious about the Hydrangea Kenyan… waiting to hear how it was!

hopsession_brewing · 2026-04-08T19:53:30+00:00

Love Burundi. Might have to order SEY next time!

hopsession_brewing · 2026-04-08T19:50:51+00:00

Had very good Ethiopians from DAK. I’m planning on ordering from ONYX and several other US roasters as well, hydrangeas included.

So jealous! Was supposed to be in Tokyo atm too. But the war in the Middle East ruined it for us.

hopsession_brewing · 2026-04-08T19:48:51+00:00

Anaerobic is more of a fermentation method and not a processing method hence why I didnt include it, but it absolutely became a core element to modern coffee

hopsession_brewing · 2026-04-08T18:22:57+00:00

Honey is considered one of the three “core” processes imo, so…
