    hope your dams / tanks / winter crops are full and your kids are not fat.........
    The rain has come a bit late for some of us out here...it was looking too dry to even plant anything and the promise of rain (ie the long range forecast) was not indicating anything. What were getting now and have had this week may give me some winter grass I hope. Others will have planted on the chance it may have rained or if they had water to irrigate with and Im hoping that they will get a great winter crop...not only will this rain keep their crops alive but our town as well...

      no sun in SYD today

      I dont know if it means I had +-12 inchs here this week, but went down the side of the house and emptied an old plastic garbage bin I use for green waste.

      it was about 30cm - 12" deep in the bin.............
      (nothing else in there except water)

      hope the north / west / east / south of OZ got there share.....
      in reality its been great rain, slow & steady etc just a PITA to dry the clothes....

      the grass in my small yard is so water logged that i am considering some sort of drainage......... >

        Back to my original topic. I have had no further problems, despite the intermittent rain in Sydney. I have come to the conclusion that it was a combination of using only 4 day old beans and the extreme weather on Wednesday and my inexperience in accommodating for this. Now the beans are a week old they seem quite stable and steady and responsive to subtle changes in grind.

          Once the beans are roasted, the major hydration changes will happen as they are exposed to the moist air, until all has roughly equalized. Id guess a few days exposure would take care of it.

          I once had some roasted beans sent from humid Canberra to dry Adelaide, and they ground at completely different settings than the local roasts for several days, gradually moving to the settings I usually use.
