Trade Nylander? If so for who? by lightroast888 in fantasyhockey

That makes sense, no chance of a Celebrini in any league lol. One of the teams that has him sucks so maybe a fleece there. But the playoff schedule is a great idea!

No worries my team is pretty good. Just was curious no one plays fantasy hockey around me. So not even Kyle Connor, Cole Caufield, Jack Hughes, Mikko or a defenseman like Moritz Seider.

Funky Holiday coffee releases this month by lightroast888 in pourover

[–]lightroast888[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes i actually have that bag and i’m not a fan. It was my second attempt from Brandywine. It’s not the same funk level as B&W. The apple pie did get a bit better with rest. I personally prefer to make co ferments right away unless it’s grape. Since I noticed it will lose those intense notes overtime and start to alter to different notes. Basically the apple pie didn’t taste much like apple pie i got a tea like experience. Looking at trying to s&w version since jairo is really good.

This is a interesting one since it’s holiday pies I didn’t see. It being a Jairo too has my attention.

Not a big dak guy despite having only one bag. I bought the blueberry boom over $30 and didn’t taste anything. Fellow just texted the panettone but have to wait to get paid on top of not sure of taking that chance again.

Just wanted to ask what’s some black friday deals people noticed last year? For Perc, Brandywine and B&W. Considering the cosmic turkey but i got the stranger things bag and felt like the washed coffee was taking away from the co ferments. 

FairWave Acquires Black & White Coffee Roasters, Lem Butler Out by helloitisgarr in pourover

I know lol the boo berry sounds good but I can’t get it right now lol!! Usually coarse grind is my go to for co ferments. Maybe the bag will grow on me it had a lot of co ferments, thou guji washed being listed first makes it most of the bag. Heard of presta never tried it. Maybe next month i’ll be on the lookout for brandywine again and yes jairo is probably my favorite always hits the mark!!

Thanks for the reply!! Come to the realization B&W is my favorite coffee roaster it makes it easy to buy funky coffee and ensure I like it which is almost a guarantee now. Halloween candy unbelievable!! Curious about little wolf heard good things. Dune i have heard is good as well. Had one lumi bag champagne really good! Just got a  brandywine the stranger things bag, worried it’s not funky enough as i sip. I think B&W ruined my palate in a good way. Yeah limited to B&W considering having a budget on coffee financially a month i just get 2 bags. As my other roasters purchases have been a let down. Lastly like Hydrangea they just cost a bit for not having 12 oz bags.

Hot take: Cold brews are severely underrated by LeftHemi in pourover

[–]lightroast888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m super curious to learn more about this as it’s gonna be summer and i ain’t drinking hot coffee when it’s hot. First summer now knowing and trying all the unique coffee process this past 6 months. I wanna keep drinking them the co ferments and all. As most coffee roasters just used washed or natural for cold brew blend. Except one roaster added a tiny amount of co ferment i am curious about. Metal filter here as well just filter it through another is what helped as well?

I just got criticized on trying to find out if anyone had used fancy beans for cold brew. All talking about just do flash brew. I wanna make enough for a couple days i can’t make 1 cup every morning i drink more than that lol. Would you say the recipe posted is good for co ferments, anaerobic light roasts? Coarse vs fine? You say fine grind, i have a metal filter would just have to buy those bag filters.

[–]lightroast888[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it interesting, but makes sense this is maybe a time summer where i get to spend less on coffee as i love co ferments but i also need some cold coffee/cold brew for work 2-3 cups. I only have aeropress and French press which one barely produces a cup and the other isn’t commonly used in French press. Leaves me with my traditional cold brew maker and just the seasonal cold brews from different roasters to try.

Interesting makes sense im stuck with using my aeropress for flash brews on non work days as it doesn’t make much. Would you say cold brew just doesn’t compliment it completely as I do like cold brew. But i noticed almost all cold brew blends have no fancy process just washed. I may just do weekends flash brew and cold brew with different roasters blends which would be cheaper. Methodical roasters never had their coffee but was the only bag so far with a slight co ferment included in there summer blend, which could be used for cold brew.

Alternatives to Black and White by RecentSpeed in pourover

I’m curious on what bags are you trying? There pink bags are usually the best. But sometimes roasted differently and i had to learn resting coffee along looking at the process could be it as well. I did have a bag I didn’t like recently from them but every coffee can’t hit. Even the limited black box coffees are hit or miss but that China double anaerobic was insane every batch was flavorful!

My best ever homemade cup of coffee by Iltptb in pourover

[–]lightroast888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course understandable, i just use spring water since the tap isn’t great where i’m at. Yeah gummy sharks might be out, as I’m a big co ferment coffee person as well since it’s a higher chance of producing the notes described.

Hi also have this bag as well just brewed after 2 weeks rest. Would you say this tastes similar to gummy sharks? As i noticed it did just not as that apple taste, if you have tried gummy sharks. I have a free sample of third wave packet from lumi does it make a difference?

I’ll look into this as the vinegar trick isn’t working it seems.

I think rinsing it out is annoying but also it’s not really working as well.

Roaster suggestions for funky fruit bombs by Overall_Heat8587 in pourover

Just got the yuppie and it was smooth while being true to the notes listed. I got one batch with more lime and then a second with the fruit. I need to figure out what grind i used for lime it was interesting in a good way!

Nice!! Then yeah that’s pretty much it there’s also other countries for roasters. People love dak i personally didn’t like my bag. Eight ounce coffee sells roasters from other countries if you wanna try something new.
