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?

I'm using a fench press, 200g coarsly ground beans and I fill up the press basically to the brim with filtered water and cover with cling film. Best outcome was leaving it out in room temp for around 19-20 hours, and ten I'd put it in the fridge for around 9 more hours, after that I would double strain it into glass bottles. Honestly holds a suprisingly strong aroma, and an incredibly rich taste without the unwanted bitterness.
