And success, 5 outta 5 tasks complete… and thankfully before this severe weather is supposed to hit here in the next couple hours… got two batches of beans roasted, one cooled with whiskey… and before you ask, I am testing it with cheap whiskey this time just to see what kind of strength and flavor it adds to it… other batch is going to be flavored with our homemade vanilla extract after the off gas period because we got a good result the last time I did that. #coffeechain #diy #gsd #grownostr
LFG 🚀🚀🚀
I want to roast some coffee beans to make a coffee & vanilla extract
I got a cheap air popcorn popper for Christmas and a bag of raw coffee beans and that’s all I use… for the extract, all you need is a mason jar, some grade B vanilla beans from Amazon and some 80-90 proof vodka… chop up the beans, throw them in the jar and fill it to about half inch from the top with vodka… then we let it sit for 4-6 months shaking it once and a while until we strain the liquid and bottle it.
Oh I know about making the vanilla already
What I did last time was I let the coffee beans off gas for about a week after roasting them to a medium roast, I then filled the extract up to the top of the beans and let them soak for a little over an hour. Drained them and spread them out on parchment paper on a cookie sheet in a single layer spread out. I then turned the oven on to the lowest setting (170 F on my oven) and put them in the oven for 10-20 minutes just to dry them out… if I didn’t have so many pets I probably would have just let them air dry, but didn’t feel like cat hair flavored coffee and also didn’t want to wait a day for them to dry out. After the cool off you should just be able to scrape them off the parchment paper, then just grind and brew.
Have you ever just put coffee beans in with the vanilla during the extraction process?
While making the vanilla extract? I have not and now I’m intrigued on whether it make a vanilla/coffee extract… 🤔
Damn Amazon does have some really good prices on vanilla beans…
Yeah and it fluctuates, I think the last couple packs I ordered were around $15… this is the one I’ve been ordering
We did some zap tests on this note… we made seven attempts to⚡zap this note, at kidwarp@zeuspay.com, over a period of 11 minutes. Zero of the zaps were successfully paid... Your server did produce invoices, however, we were unable to successfully pay the invoices. It may be that your node or wallet service was offline at the time we attempted the zaps. The actual error we got was 'route not found'... which is an unfortunately vague error that Lightning payments sometimes produce. This means our payment node could not find a path to your node. (It could also be that your node was online at the time of payment, but did not have sufficient inbound capacity to receive payments.) We recommend that you use a always-on, cloud-based Lightning node to get more reliable zaps.
All of those zaps were receive from the zaplocker just fine.
nostr:npub1jluy3twvf338v6zlujzzdhjkzjy8ezj34ksydr8vw8a6jwp89ygshpp2kq I want to make sure you see this
Thanks, is this the "zaplocker" you are using? https://github.com/supertestnet/zaplocker .. thanks for the heads up about this, I want to make sure we understand how this works.
I believe so but I’d double check with nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 to be sure
I need to try that!!!
We tested zaps on this note… we made seven attempts to⚡zap this note, using your lightning address starting with "thatdudeluke", over a period of 15 minutes. In each case, we found that your lightning address server did not respond correctly. (The failure point was when we did a GET request to your specified callback URL: https://getalby.com/lnurlp/thatdudeluke/callback.) Your server did not produce an invoice, thus the zap failed. We recommend that you use a cloud-based Lightning node which is optimized for Nostr zaps, to get your zaps working.
Power failure and internet outages have that effect
