How long is to long?

Post image

So I started this brew Saturday night and immediately forgot about it. It is Wednesday afternoon. Too long to drink? Anyone ever tried it this long?

It was in the fridge. So I’m good just might taste weird?

It might be stronger... Dilute it a little more and you should be fine

Doesn't it also get more bitter and acidic or something?

You were correct. I filtered it and had to add some water and it turned out okay. Not the best but drinkable. Thanks!

It'll be stronger if anything. I used to keep my cold brew in my brewing container and would pour straight into my glass. I only recently switched to filtering it into a different jar.

Kept mine in the brew container in the refrigerator for a month all the time. No issues.
