Slow draw down - What am I doing wrong?
I have been trying to dial in my V60 recipe for quite some time. I am consistently having an issue with lighter roast beans (mostly Ethiopian, but not always) and the draw down time.
I've watched countless videos, I've switched grind sizes. I recently even replaced my burrs in my Baratza Encore. I still consistently am getting my pours muddied up and stuck at over 6 minutes.
I've tried pouring closer to the V60, agitating the beans, pouring further away, less beans, more beans. I feel like I've tried everything haha.
My most recent pour with the Onyx Tropical Weather bean wasn't even done at 6 minutes on a 26 grind on my Baratza! Crazy. Obviously that's over extracted.
Here's my setup:
Hario V60
Baratza Encore (typically try it at 18, but have been going up to as coarse as 26 - which tastes terrible)
Distilled Water with Third Wave Water minerals
Scale.
Most recent method was the 4:6 method.
