I use a Hario v60 scale.

When you guys time your shot for 25-30sec, do you start counting from first drip or from when the timer starts.
Having fresh beans really help, not sure what you are using right now. But random things like temperature, humidity can all affect shot times but not to a huge degree that you are describing though. It's usually by week 2 or 3+ when I need to re-dial in the bag as the shot will start to run a tad faster.
