Good morning all. Just finished a few days with Yemen Red Harraz. We liked it.

I usually go to the start of the second crack, with my machine that means about 7-7min 30 sec. The question I have is what happens during the "rest" I let my beans "rest" for about 3 days before grinding and what a great difference it makes. So what is going on during that "time out" so to speak. Thanks for any insight. wbill

I am cupping my roasts between three hours and next morning after roast, didn't noticed any additional aroma developing in the next day. Brew extraction though... Rest is more or less a degassing, for espresso extraction, where too much CO2 seems altering the processes that happens in the puck. If you think that one week bag smells better than a three days bag, when opened, you are right, but this not mean additional aromas developed in the longer stored bag. What you feel are the volatile compounds that left the beans and are gone, will never be retrieved in a cup...

It goes from really good to even better. I was told Yemen takes 10 days rest. Like I am going to wait 10 days, right!! -------------- Backwoods Roaster "I wish I could taste as well as I wish I could roast."
