Tonight's more productive time: taking more home grown coffee beans, and this time, trying to "wet" process them.

Tonight's more productive time: taking more home grown coffee beans, and this time, trying to "wet" process them. The last two times this failed, but this time, I have inoculated the bean/water mix with Lalvin D47 yeast (which is used to make Champagne). Hopefully this yeast will populate the mix and eat away all the pulp, then I can rinse and dry the beans. #coffee

"used to make Champagne"

So many questions ...

How do you even know that exists?
How do you know it would be useful for this application?
How do you know how to get it?

@bjb

1. I have used it to make wine in the past, and it's sold for winemaking

2. I don't know if it is useful in this application, EXCEPT, someone told me that they now sell yeast varieties specifically for wet fermentation of coffee (this variety is not one of them)

3. You can order or purchase yeast packets from any beer/wine brewing supply shop.

Seen fermented coffee bean posts. I’m waiting for more Civet ones.
