I have questions?

I beleive you want to wait at least 24 hours after roasting prior to grinding as I believe the beans are leaving off CO2 (which I've also read to leave the lid cracked after roasting).

From many of the cupping notes I've read on beans, it seems that most usually don't cup until the 3-5 day mark after roasting. Only grind what you'll use directly before brewing.

I don't know of the science behind it, but I figure these guys who've been home roasting for many years know what they're doing so I just folllow suit.
