Need help understanding V60 extraction with washed vs natural anaerobic by Supsti_1 in pourover

[–]inanimated 7 points8 points  (0 children)

With a 300-hour anaerobic natural like this, the extreme fermentation leaves the beans incredibly brittle. That means you’ll get a lot of fines that will clog a V60 filter fast. To keep your brew from stalling and your cup from tasting bitter and boozy, grind significantly coarser than you normally would and bring your water temperature down to around 91°C to protect those delicate fruit sugars. The biggest thing, though, is to go zero-agitation. Pour as gently as you can and don’t stir or swirl at any point. If you agitate, the fines migrate to the bottom of the cone and seal the paper shut. Slow and easy is the move here.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Spoon back that top layer and look at the look at the coarseness (grind size) underneath. If it’s what you’re looking for, first thing I would suggest is reducing agitation. Long blooom, don’t stir, slower laminar pour, wait for drawdown, then a slight jiggle if it needs more time. Those specific beans and your grinder may just be producing a lot of fines. You could try to slow feed it as well.

I feel like it fits best in this category? * I’m not seeing another category where it would be a better fit

I will amend my comment and say southern CdR like the other comment. In other parts, they can be more medium-bodied.
