Got my first cold brew going. :D

Let us know what you think man!
So first impression is good.

I went ahead and added some milk and it made an excellent breakfast drink.

I put the coarse grounds (15 clicks on the hario slim) in a mason jar with water (3 cups) let it sit out overnight (12 hours) on the counter then poured through a nut milk bag into a bowl then filtered it again through the aeropress.

Yeah I've been wanting to try making my own yogurt so the nut milk bag will help with that to.

For my next cold brew, I gotta figure out the ratio I want to use. For this go around I just wanted to try it out so I wasn't being very exact.

How concentrated did you make it? r/coffee has a bunch of guides for cold brew depending on how strong you want it.

I used 3 cups of water and filled the hario slim hopper up ~1.5 times.

It seemed like a lot when I mixed it up but didn't taste overly concentrated. I could drink it straight.

Next time I'll get a scale out and weigh some whole beans before I grind.

I gotta get some different whole beans to. The ones I've got now came from some place upstate that was giving away coffee with book purchases.

Yeah weighing it would help give you a better idea of how strong your brew is. Do you source your whole beans from local roasters?

I'd check out local roasters in your area or can order beans online.

How was that? I hear people putting some sort of fat(butter or beef) into their coffee which is insane to me. Hot sauce though, I'm not sure.

It was different, I also used heavy cream and sugar so it all blended together.

Edit: So I added a bit more this morning and it definitely makes things interesting. The chili pepper flavor really comes out.

Edit 2: OK now its starting to get gross...
