The 2025/2026 Harvest has not gone according to plan.

Nick and I have found ourselves with some down time and therefore have put together this casual, end of year update on how the season is going so far. Spoiler alert: not well.

I've combined a harvest update with listener questions about fermentation.

Questions featured in this episode are:

• Are all coffees that are not anaerobic, aerobic?
• Am I aware of any efforts to design yeasts for Robusta?
• Do I think producers should create terms that further describe processing?
• How can you more precisely measure fermentation process with whole cherries?
• What's the most eco-friendly way to treat waste water and effluent?
