Dialing in Y05 Thermal Shock
The Panda PsyOp worked.
Both of the bags I ordered were roasted on 9/13. I’ve tried both of my standard recipes on each bag, and the Geisha comes out wonderfully with full flavor notes but I’m really struggling to dial in the Diego Bermudez. It keeps over extracting a bit, and I’m not getting the bright and acidic fruit notes I want out of it. The first recipe I used is one I made for another thermal shock (Perc Los Nogales Columbia), and the second is a fairly standard recipe I found online. Any advice would be appreciated!
