You’ve been nailing naturals, but now you’re ready to explore washed process beans. As a Freshroast user, you’re in for an exciting journey! Let’s dive into the specifics of roasting Ethiopian washed process beans.
First off, understand that washed process beans undergo a different fermentation and washing method compared to naturals. This affects their flavor profile, acidity, and body. The lack of fruitiness found in naturals means you’ll need to adjust your roasting profile accordingly.
For washed Ethiopians, aim for a slightly longer roast. Start with a low temperature (F9) and low power level (P1) for the first 2 minutes. Then, increase both the heat (F8) and power (P3) for the next 2 minutes. From there, dial up the heat (F7) to a higher level (P7) and continue roasting until you reach the first crack (FC).
Once you’ve achieved FC, it’s time to fine-tune your roast. Lower the heat slightly and increase the fan speed. The cracking will continue as the beans develop their unique flavor profile. Pull the beans between 7:00 and 8:00 minutes after reaching FC.
Adjust your heat and power levels during the roast to achieve the desired results.
1. Washed process beans require a longer roasting time compared to naturals. 2. Adjust your heat and power levels during the roast to achieve the desired results. 3. Be mindful of the first crack (FC) and adjust your roast accordingly after reaching it.
Now that you’ve got the lowdown on washing process beans, it’s time to put your newfound knowledge into practice! Share your experiences and roasting tips with the coffee community by leaving a comment below. Happy roasting!
