Just started experimenting with cold brew. I noticed the extremely low water ratio of 1:4 as compared to your garden variety manual pourover of 1:15 to 1:18. Is it as thick as I imagine it would?
How much do you usually make in a single batch? How much (before diluting) would you put in a single serving?
I start with a 3:1 ratio of water to grounds, maybe 4:1 by the time it mixes. I do mine in a mason jar, so I fill the jar to 500ml with grounds then I fill that up the rest of the way with water. Its a 1.75L jar so I figure about 1500ml water goes in as its mixing up with the grounds.
Let sit for a day in the fridge and stir or shake occasionally.
This makes a good concentrate, which I then mix with water to get the right taste.
How much would you put in a single serving, and how much would you dilute it?
When using the above concentrate, I’d go for a roughly 60/40 concentrate to cold water mixture.
I usually fill a 20oz yeti with ice, then add concentrate and water to fill it up.
Ohhh yeah that makes sense now.
I uh… Drank it straight and got kinda loopy a few times.
