Re: CoffeeSnobs Bean Club - Aceh Gaja Mt#1
ok, this is the first time Ive ever shared roasting notes, mainly because I havent been doing it for very long. ANY feedback will be very much appreciated!
Roast method: Gene Café
Roast Notes: 225g green weight/180g post roast weight
0 min - 150 C
5 min - 245 C
11 min - 235 C
2 min after FC - 245
Thats the profile I intended to follow. FC didnt start until 16:06 @ 244C, mainly because I gave it a kick in the pants at 15 min and brought the temp up to 245C. SC started at 18:37 and I pulled the roast then and there. Things I learnt ... roasting and thinking about the cassoulet youre cooking at the same time is VERY distracting.
FC took way to long to start for my liking so next roast I think Ill delay the temp drop to 12 min and see what happens. Overall, i wasnt focussed on what I was doing and thats a BIG mistake.
Roast Date: 2/8/09 Colour: CS8 or 9
In the Cup: 7/8/09 Doppio ristretto, same as base for Flat Whites
Tasting notes:
Sweet, floral notes off the grinder, cocoa and what I can only describe as a tropical, floral sweetness in the cup. Cocoa as well and this lingers on the palate after finishing. Its a bit lost in milk but has a nice intensity as espresso. A bit of finger trouble at many stages here, as I seriously doubt that Ive nailed the extraction yet ...
Rating: Im not going to rate at this stage, I can sense a LOT of potential in the Aceh that is going to take some more work and learning on my behalf. I do know that I like it, might try it in a blend as well.
