Share your experience w/ aging beans

A month or two ago I made a post that got some great feedback regarding a bag of beans I had that started to get more gassy as it aged (rather than the expected result of de-gassing). I never really learned what was happening but I thought in pursuit of understanding this phenomenon, I might get some of your experiences with how you notice your beans change over time, in general.

So if you wouldn't mind please share some of the following info about your favorite/usual coffee/espresso:

  1. In what ways do you notice your beans change as they age (changes in flavor, brew characteristics, smell, etc)
  2. What was the shortest amount of time from purchase (or roast) to noticing the beans started to change
  3. Preferred roast/brand/country of origin (any info about the beans)
  4. Do you grind fresh daily?
  5. Preferred brewing method
  6. Do you adjust your technique as the beans age over the weeks?
  7. How do you store your beans?
  8. At what point do you consider beans "stale"

Feel free to share some or all of the above info, or just a relevant story about beans past their prime, it would be greatly appreciated!
