I am new to roasting, and having had a few shots at it am trying to learn about how a roast will taste at different stages, ie by brewing a cup 10 mins after roasting, 1 day old, 2 day old, 2 week old etc... I know from reading the forums that most people like the flavour after 1-2 days at least.
Also interested to hear about everyone's personal experiences at this, ie are there any general rules of thumb about how a 3 day old roast would taste compared to a roast that you brewed right after roasting? For example, I generally make short blacks, and find that the main difference for me is that the 3 day old would be smoother, and would lose a noticeably bitter aftertaste that is present right after roasting.
