Perfect! I can see there are completed brews for Las Pillas bean (bean_id 14) which should be very similar to our current Las Pillas (bean_id 17). The most recent Las Pillas brews show grind 8.5, 20g input, getting 40.5g output in 26s, which is slightly fast.
Now I have all the information to make a recommendation for order 138 with Las Pillas (medium roast, 11 days old):
BREW #129: Las Pillas (Medium)
- Roasted: 2026-03-30 | Age: 11 days
PARAMETERS: CURRENT → RECOMMENDED
- Grind: 8 → 7.5 ↓
- Temperature: 93°C → 93°C
- Dose: 19g → 23g ↑
- Pre-infusion: No → No
CHANGE
- Increase dose to 23g and decrease grind to 7.5 to account for 8-day aging past optimal.
REASONING
- Bean is 8 days past optimal age (11 vs 3 days), requiring +4g dose adjustment (8 × 0.5g)
- Historical Las Pillas data shows grind 8.5 produced 26s time (too fast), so grind 7.5 should target 30s
- Starting with higher dose and finer grind to compensate for aged beans and achieve proper extraction
EXPECTED OUTCOME
- Target 40g output in 30s brew time. Monitor extraction balance - if bitter, coarser grind next time. If sour or fast, maintain current parameters.
