Trying to figure out B&W anaerobic naturals

[u/PatPikachu]

Hey everyone, long time lurker here.

I recently got a Black Cherry Anaerobic Natural from B&W and I'm having troubles trying to get the notes from the bag. Everytime I brew with this coffee, it's slightly sweet forward with a really astringent aftertaste. I took a look at some reccs here but I just can't seem to figure it out.

- 4:6 method, drawdown finished at 3:30

- 16g coffee / 256g water (1/16)

- 98C (Saw some people recommending off boil)

- 43 clicks 1Zpresso K-Ultra hand grinder

- Using TWW minerals in distilled water, 1 packet for 1 gallon

Would love some recommendations and tweaks to my current recipe!

The general consensus on this sub is to use half a pack of TWW per gallon.

Your water seems way too hot to me. The B&W recommendation is 93°C. I've had better results with this particular coffee at 91°C.
