My stash - Did a rough Audit...

Muscles

I have approx 20kg inventory and started roasting in Feb, how bad does this GAD (Green Acquisition Disorder) get? It would be helpful for me to know how long you've all been roasting so I know what I am in for...

I've been roasting a couple of years, 725 grams of green a week for 52 weeks comes to around 38Kg, and that's about the stock I like to keep in reserve, 12 months supply. 😉

Yeah, that Basmati is nice. I still got at least 15kg of it. If anybody wants some, let me know.

Muscles

40kg aint too bad. SWMBO hasn't noticed that the bags are 2 rows deep (yet) so I reckon I Could squeeze another row in taking me up to 30kgs. Thing starting to worry me is the 3x3x3 rule I often see around.... need to get more family and friends into this!

Right, so here is my EOFY stocktake list. A bit less than I thought. Peru Ceja De Selva - 3.0kg Costa Rica San Isidro - 1.3kg Brazil Pulped Naturals - 2.5kg PNG Kone Ka - 1.9kg Malawi Nyika - 1.9kg Bolivian - 3kg Ethiopian Harrar Star DS - 2.3kg PNG Waghi AA - 1.8kg Laos Dong Hua Sao - 0.8kg Ethiopia Guna Limmu - 2.1kg Indian Monsoon Malabar - 1.1kg Costa Rica San Marcos - 2.5kg Nicaragua La Gloria - 2.1kg Java Ijen Sundried - 0.5kg Rwanda Gisenyi - 1.2kg Sulawesi - 1.9kg So that brings it to a total of 29.9kg And 2kg of Indian Kaapi Royale Robusta and 0.9kg of Brazil Fazenda Ipanema "Dulce" 2011 on the way, which will bring it to 32.8kg by the end of the week (I've got enough roasted to last me the week). Next time I'm in Brisbane I might hit up some of you to swap some of the ones I don't really enjoy as much.

Figured I'd get this kicked back off:

Bean | Source | Weight | Comments
Costa Rica Zamorana Estate | Ministry Grounds | 0.050kg | Lovely single origin, stands up well in milk and hits the roast notes described
Kenya Tinganga Estate AA | Ministry Grounds | 0.773kg | -
Kenya Karini AA | Ministry Grounds | 0.420kg | Beautiful as a single origin and stands up well in milk, well priced, wine-like body & acidity, notes of red grapes, currants etc with a lingering dusty cocoa mouthfeel & taste.
Brazil 'Toffee' Cerrado | Ministry Grounds | 0.565kg | Good if slightly uninspiring base for blending, well priced.
Brazil Daterra Monte Cristo Natural | Ministry Grounds | 0.521kg | Enjoyable blending base, well priced, as described.
El Salvador Finca La Fany | Ministry Grounds | 0.410kg | Sugar cane & other gentle notes linger in the cup - roast quite light for biggest rewards. Roasts evenly and is satisfying right across the board. #vivalafany
Ethiopia Yirgacheffe - slightly old | CoffeeSnobs | 0.960kg | Boring, plain, one-dimensional, roasty at darker roasts and sour at lighter roasts, the balance point gives a very lemon-lime fragranced cup at slower extractions, with an insipid dark chocolate/cocoa backing. Verging on unpleasant - could be my roasting skills (or lack)

So here's what is in my stock at the moment. Wonder what I should roast/blend next. All weights in grams. Decaf WOW 150 Monsoon Malabar 520 Yirgacheffe Special Prep 2250 Harrar 4300 Harfusa 1000 Malawi Nyika AA 1500 Uganda Okoro 300 India Tiger Mountain 510 El Salvador San Emilio Red Icantu 1000 Peru Ceja De Selva 1200 Costa Rica San Isidro 690 Costa Rica Tarazzu 825 Mexico Yeni Navan typica 900 Brazil Monte Alegre Espresso blend 2460 Laos Bolaven farms 500 Sulawesi Bukit Maranti 1000 Java Ijen Sundried 1700 PNG Bannum Wo 550 total 21355 Given current decaf consumption I think I need to buy more decaf next month and I can never just order one bean at a time.

Tango

I'm assuming that that Yirgacheffe Special Prep is from CS?? Want to sell some of that?? Amazing bean that I loved and I am now sadly out of it. I can't believe you still have 2.25kg of it!!

coffeehorse

Why not buy the Trabocca-sourced Sidamo Gr2 Operation Cherry Red or Haile Selassie from Bean Green? Both better beans in terms of quality.

:o I'm not going to bother boasting my inventory. I'll just say i got less than 10 kg. That's well below the poverty line judging by the results here. 🙁 At least i'm not drinking instant ehh? 😉 Gary at G

Stash got up to 80kg at one point but I have been trying to use up older beans that were hiding at the back of the cupboard!! Stash at the moment is a manageable 52kg:- Harrar Star Double Sort Yirg Special Prep Kenyan Gethumbwini PB PNG Kona Ka Sumatran Mandelheng Sumatran Gayo Specialty Organic Indian Mysoor Nuggets Costa Rica Herbazu Brazil Bourbon Naturals Brazil Yellow Bourbon Brazil Daterra Sunrise RFA

borat123

Harrar star double sort quite rightly sitting at the top of the list.... :coffee2:

beanflying

xxkg of Stash + 5kg of Candalila Geisha as of yesterday. Raised the value just a little ;D I have the stash in the kitchen near the scales so a list will be forthcoming as I wanted to spreadsheet it anyway.

coffeehorse

Just run out of: Costa Rica Zamorana Estate - great value bean and I'd buy this again and again. CS Ethiopia Yirgacheffe - not sure which one this is, lemon-lime-choc one-dimensional and flat, uninspiring imo. I'd pass this up if offered again. Fixed up Karini & Tinganga notes

Turnover and not holding endless amounts of greens can be a good thing given that while they may last a while, greens are still susceptible to aging and storage issues. Most of the guys with big stashes will be those suppling friend and family. Plus, next order buy 10kg of JBM and you'll have bragging rights over most!

Got some new beans and decided to do an audit: Beans Stock (kg) Costa Rica Caf

To use a random quote, I feel like my rather paltry 20kg is "heaps", but wifey and I get through 1.5kg/week, which other people have called "a cubic buttload". We also keep a wholesale account with a big roastery in Castle Hill for our church playgroup 🙂 I think holding greens from last year's crop on purpose is not a great idea unless you're doing it for a very specific reason. 6 months and you certainly lose a couple of points in Cup Quality (CQ).
