Fellow Stagg X

Competition Style

Fellow's Stagg X brew guide frames this competition-style method around numerous small pours and deliberate agitation. Stable heat and repeated bed movement push extraction high, targeting intense sweetness, definition, and concentrated strength.

Notes

Swirl lightly after each small addition, using the same motion so agitation stays repeatable rather than escalating. Keep the bed level and monitor astringency: if strength rises but the finish dries, coarsen slightly or soften the swirls.
