Do you cold brew?

[Maverick]

Black and hot......that sounds weird

Black, hot and all over my lap..............

Are you still talking about coffee?

Is that a stage name?

I brew about 200 gallons of coldbrew a week for my stores

@_TONY_ does cold brewing prevent the coffie from breaking down into its more acidic state?

The high acidity in brewed coffee comes with the application of heat in the brew process. When coffee is steeped cold, it prevents most the acids from being extracted out of the raw coffee.

Coffee acidity scale

High= espresso

Medium= gravity coffee (drip), or coffee that's brewed under no pressure (French press, Aero press, siphon etc)

Low= cold brewed coffee

IMO, the best coffee beverage on the planet is produced by a Toddy Cold Brew.

The process takes 24 hours but you get a full-flavored concentrate with very little bitterness or acidity that you can then dilute to your preferred strength with ice-water and cream.

Absolutely the best method of coffee consumption in my book! (at least between June-August)

Do you get the same yield as with hot brew and how long does it take? Actually cold water or room temperature? Refrigerate while steeping?

Tagging.

The best I've done so far is 1C coarse ground coffee and 1/2 gallon of water.

pop it in the fridge for 24 hours.  Strain through cheese cloth into another 1/2 gallon jar.


I use 1/2 gallon mason jars since I have a bunch of them for cider and plastic lids.



I enjoy it, but others might have something even better.

It's typically a 1/1 ratio of ground coffee to water. I like to run .75/1 brewed for 24hrs at 45 degrees. You'll want to refrigerate while steeping. If you are able, use filtered water to help the shelf life and help keep the microbes under 11,000.

It's typically a 1/1 ratio of ground coffee to water.(eg. One pound coffee per gallon) I like to run .75/1 brewed for 24hrs at 45 degrees. You'll want to refrigerate while steeping. If you are able, use filtered water to help the shelf life and help keep the microbes under 11,000.
