Why this recipe
Whisky · Xb
Grind 66 · 88 °C · 30 s · 2:30–3:30
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. It is a very soft bean that gives up flavour fast, so the recipe stays gentle to avoid bitterness.
The decisions
Rock salt. Soft beans give up flavour fast, so it's set much coarser.
Dial in your grinder →88 °C for the bloom, 85 °C after. Heat opens the grounds early; stepping down keeps the finish sweet, not bitter.
40 ml of water, then a 30-second wait. A short wait is enough before the next pour.
More of the water goes in early, while flavour comes out fastest. Fewer, larger pours stir the bed more, for a heavier cup.
40 → 155 → 225 ml
Spiral pours reach the edges and stir the whole bed.
