Low Temperature

2018 World Brewers Cup Champion Emi Fukahori's Hario Switch recipe. Uses three temperature stages — starting cool at 80°C, then hot at 95°C, then cool again at 80°C — to extract different flavor compounds at optimal temperatures.

Notes

Fukahori's innovative multi-temperature technique was revolutionary. The initial cool water extracts delicate aromatics without bitterness. The hot middle pour drives extraction. The final cool pour slows extraction and adds sweetness. Requires preparing water at two temperatures.
