Cold brew experiment went sideways on me
I tried making cold brew with a coarse grind from a new roaster in Denver and let it steep for 20 hours instead of my usual 12. The result was super bitter and basically undrinkable, not the smooth cup I was after. Has anyone else had a batch go wrong from steeping too long or is it just me?

Did you try changing the water temperature before the steep?

Start with boiling water and work your way down if it tastes burnt or flat. That's my rule and it's never let me down. Trying random temps without knowing what you're fixing is a waste of time and tea. Most people just overthink it and end up with a lukewarm cup that tastes like nothing.
