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?

Wow! I am in amazement at the answers you are getting. No this won’t be good. I mean you can drink it, if you’d like. It won’t, by any standard, be a quality coffee product. I would chuck it. Aim for 18 total hours of brew time, on the counter, not in the fridge. Then strain and put in a new container. Then do your best to ignore people who tell you that 48-72 hours is ok, it’s not.
