In this kit, you'll get 60g each of the same coffee fermented 4 different ways to try to highlight how fermentation can influence coffees. The coffee is washed, but undergoes 4 different fermentation steps:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanically demucilaged (no fermentation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWild fermentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYeast inoculated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLactobacillus inoculated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom Lucia Solis\u003c\/strong\u003e: Using the same starting material, we created 4 different versions of the coffee to illustrate the effect of fermentation and processing on the same coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen people taste “fermented” coffees, they rarely get to taste the un-fermented version for comparison.\u003cbr\u003eIn this project we processed a Mechanically Demucilaged coffee (no fermentation) to serve as the control. The profile of this coffee comes from growing practices and genetic varietal characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second coffee is a WILD fermentation (48 hour submerged fermentation with local, wild microbes). This is the traditional method most coffees experience where the mucilage is removed by the local microbe population.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe third coffee is an inoculated fermentation (48 hour submerged fermentation with Lactobacillus). Generally, the bacteria shows how through fermentation you can enhance the production of organic acids and impact the brightness and complexity of the coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fourth coffee is an inoculated fermentation (48 hour submerged fermentation with saccharomyces yeast). Generally, the yeast shows how through fermentation you can enhance the production of flavor precursors and impact the body and complexity of the coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHouse Recipe\u003c\/strong\u003e: We recommend cupping these first before brewing. We do this in cupping bowls with 8.5g of coffee to 150mL of water (~1:17.6) at\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e200° F. Pour vigorously and allow 4 minutes of contact time before using a spoon to break the crust at the top of the cup (a gentle push from the front of the cup to the back 2 or 3 times). Then use two spoons to skim coffee grounds floating on top. After that, start slurping! We usually sip the coffee over time as it cools over the course of 20 minutes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brainwave Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55485230088497,"sku":null,"price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0864\/8219\/0641\/files\/JamesHoffman_prod1_v4.jpg?v=1785528277","url":"https:\/\/brainwaveroasters.com\/products\/james-hoffman-fermentation-project","provider":"Brainwave Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
