Have you tried larger batches? I'm a big fan of Hedrick's recipe but found it tricky especially on the Orea when doing 500mL
I tried a 30:500 batch this morning, and it actually turned out surprisingly well first try. I definitely had to be a lot more aware of my pouring rate, and should probably go a click courser. I think the grind size is probably the biggest factor for a brew this big.
Nice, thanks!
I haven’t tried anything larger yet, but I can definitely see how a 500ml batch would be pretty tight in a brewer this size. I even had a little trouble with the stock papers at 350ml, but that’s because they sit slightly below the rim of the brewer, where the 185s don’t. I’ll have to try a 500ml brew and see how it goes.
