Cold Brew Samplings

• Cold Brew (home brewed) – Huckleberry Roasters Sulawesi Tana Toraja
• Chameleon Cold Brew concentrate (store bought)

Home Brewing Notes:

Greg ended up steeping at a 1:8 ratio, roughly (12oz coffee:100oz water)

Steeped in a large, one-gallon glass jar

End product was slightly bitter – this was likely due to two factors:

• steep time too long
• inconsistent grind from my grinder

Pros of making your own cold brew:

• Unlimited potential with notes, steep time, etc. You get to exercise control
• Bulk production. A $16 bag of coffee will last you a week or more
• Impress your friends?

Cons of making your own cold brew:

• If you mess it up, you’ve tricked off an entire bag of coffee
• Container size/storage
• Work. No instant gratification. It takes a while. Anywhere from 12-24 hours.
• Straining. This can be a big pain if you don’t have something like a fine cheesecloth bag for easy removal of coffee grounds/liquid straining.
