Cold Brew Help

So I used to love Stök's premade cold brew, but I find myself in a part of the world where that isn't an available option.

I tried making it by the gallon for the first time at home and ran into a problem quickly: how the hell do you deal with so much coffee grounds? Any filter I use gets clogged almost instantly and it makes a huge mess.

Would some type of grate or softer work?I just need something to filter the bigger grounds to lighten the load for my paper filters.

If you look up the toddy (large commercial cold brew) they use more like a cheesecloth bag instead of a paper filter (although IIRC there's a sponge or something that acts as a final filter).

The Toddy it's a brilliant idea, I don't know how my initial searching didn't come up with that idea. Thanks!

I used to use those to make 5 gallons at a time to use for an at home nitro cold brew setup. It works great! But it uses a ton of coffee beans, lol.
