This shot turned out OK, but the shot ran very wierdly because for some reason the flow rate limit from the second phase cut in on the first phase. With th elow flow rate and the large head space on the 49mm step down basket it took forever to fill and get up to pressure.
Nonetheless it was once again a quite tastey shot. As slight hint of cellulose so it may still be worth dropping to 24g, but I’d like to get a consistantly working profile running first.
This wasn’t the first time the flow rate parameter seemed to be messed up. I’ve posted details of the issue on Discord.

This is bean that I have had before with a pleasant and nuanced bitterness brewed with a flat 9 bar profile before I had the Gaggimate upgrade.
Experiments so far have revealed that with reduced bitterness it can reveal a pleasant savoury acidity not unlike tomato, but is very prone to blonding early and releasing a cardboardy falvor. I canontine to work on elliminating that without having to shortent the ratio excessively.
The bean can be broken under the thumb, but not as easily in many. Just 3 main chunks plus smaller pieces from the skin.
Appearance is medium-dark with some light oild.
This bag was frozen for 6 weeks, although the first shot did have significant CO2. I did refreeze 100grams as I don’t think I would use it all without a break.
