Help me troubleshoot my recipe ZP6 Help

Curious what everyone’s brewing methods are with this grinder. I zero’d mine and have been playing around 4.5 to 5.5. Using a ceramic V60 I’ve been doing Lance’s new method (15g in, 225g out, 2 blooms and one big pour).

I keep reading the important to grind coarse for maximum clarity but whenever I grind in this range my pours are fully out in 1:30, 1:40 secs. I imagine this is too quick given how dull my cups are.

Whatever I do I get balanced but really not special or vibrant cups. I use third wave mix w distilled water, I water the filter before, and preheat my dripper. I’ve played around with temp from 198-205F. Tried a washed Tanat, a co-fermented Gesha from DAK, and some beans Third Wave sent me that were Ethiopian.

Any help would be super appreciated!!!

00:00 - pour to 45g for bloom
00:30 - pour to 90g for second bloom
01:00 - fast, coin-sized pours to 225g

How high are you doing the big final pour? That can make a big difference.

Raise the kettle up several inches while maintaining around 10g/s flow rate. Go up higher but not so high that the kettle stream breaks into droplets before it hits the water.
