    You
    Brewed Ninga Hill · May 5. 4★. Astringent. Bed rode up the sides, last pour wasn't smooth.
    BB
    Updated your pour plan: gentler swirl after bloom, small_circles on all pours, slower final pour. Astringency + bed riding up + uneven last pour is channeling, not over-extraction. Same recipe hit 5★ twice before — don't touch dose/water/temp/grind, fix technique. Expected shift: astringency drops, juiciness returns. Smoother finish.
    You
    Brewed Ninga Hill · May 7. 5★. The gentler pours helped.
    BB
    No changes — recipe is dialed. Match: gentler pours fixed the channeling, juiciness returned. Lock it in.
    You
    Brewed Ninga Hill · May 8. 5★. Juicy.
    BB
    No changes — back-to-back 5★. This is your dialed-in Ninga Hill recipe.
    You
    May 15. It's losing it a bit in the juiciness. Maybe the beans getting old?
    BB
    Updated your recipe: water 225g→215g; bigger bloom. Aromatics fade as beans age past peak. Tighten the ratio to re-concentrate and bump the bloom for fresher CO2 release. Hold grind/temp — this is bean aging, not a dial-in problem. Expected shift: more concentrated berry/watermelon, juicier mid-palate. Won't fully reverse aging but recovers most of the punch.
    You
    Brewed Ninga Hill · May 18. 5★. Very good.
