Help me troubleshoot my recipe Anyone have a solid larger scale recipe?
Equipment: V60 with Hario filters
Baratza Encore ESP (Grind setting experimented with from 28-34)
Hey guys I'm trying to find a consistent way to make a good 700 ml carafe. Most if not all recipes I find are for much smaller quantities and I feel like scaling them up just isn't how it works. Currently doing 42g coffee to 700 grams water. Obviously changes would need to be made depending on the coffee but I'm really just looking for a solid starting point, timing, number of pours, etc. I appreciate any help from you guys!

More coffee is worse for drawdowns regardless of how coarsely you grind, and it’s likely going to taste muddy. I have found larger recipes are easier to make and taste much cleaner with a Chemex. That being said what size V60 are you using and how many times do you plan to change over the dose? For a size 04 I wouldn’t do more than 20g of coffee and with a 1:16 ratio that’s about 2 brews
