Why this recipe
Hidden Whiskey · xbloom | Thailand
Grind 42 · 90 °C · 45 s · 3:00–4:00
Calculated by BrewMind's AI from this bean's altitude, process and roast, then checked against physical limits before you saw it.
Barrel and spirit aromas are delicate and fade when pushed too hard, so the recipe is set to keep them. Its density is typical, so nothing is corrected for it.
The decisions
Granulated sugar. Fermented beans give up flavour fast, so it's set coarser.
Dial in your grinder →90 °C to start, then 88 °C, 86 °C and 85 °C. Heat opens the grounds early; stepping down keeps the finish sweet, not bitter.
40 ml of water, then a 45-second wait. Escaping gas pushes water away; waiting it out lets the pours that follow soak in evenly.
More of the water goes in early, while flavour comes out fastest. Three pours after the bloom keep body and clarity in step.
40 → 130 → 190 → 225 ml
Spiral pours reach the edges and stir the whole bed.
