Using Espresso instead of Coffee
    #18954189 - 10/09/13 12:43 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

I'm preparing some rye berries for a screlotia producer and would like to know if anyone has used espresso shots instead of coffee as part of the water that the rye berries will soak in? The reason I'm asking is because of the crema that is produced when brewing espresso. The crema in espresso is comprised of bubbles of co2 wrapped in brewed coffee. This may or may not do anything for the grains or screlotia consuming the grains since the co2 will just dissipate. Though there are other oils present in an espresso shot that aren't in coffee (at least not to the same degree) and they might produce different results when compared to regular black coffee.

If I'm not mistaken, espresso beans are just a different type of roast (and brew, obviously) for the coffee beans. I don't know how this will affect your jars, if at all.


Might as well give it a "shot" on a few jars and let us know :hehehe:

The high pressure when making a shot of espresso changes things, mostly by super saturating the liquids with co2 so I'm not sure if this will do anything either. From what I understand, this super saturation allows more oils from the bean to become soluble thus extracting more from the given quantity of beans. Is it reasonable to assume 2 shots added to the soaking water would be equivalent to 12oz of coffee?


Edit: This will be my project. I'll slowly be working on, first doing a comparison between espresso shots and coffee using multispore on rye. Then once I have an isolate I'll redo the experiment with the isolate. More than likely nothing will change. I remember RR saying that for some reason stronger coffee actually has negative results, so maybe the grains that were soaked in water that had espresso shots added into it will do worse than the grains soaked in coffee water. I'll just have to give it a "shot" :wink: (Frank, I actually got a chuckle out of that)

Love.
