A detailed experiment investigating how long to steep immersion cold brew, with both numerical and qualitative results.

True. It also matters what you're doing with it. Are you adding cream and sugar. I like a cold brew and tonic and to get the cold brew to stand up to the tonic I brew between 24 and 36 hours. If I'm sipping on it as is I usually only let it go overnight.

I'll also do batches where I brew it with only enough hot water to let the coffee bloom, then drop ice water on it and let it sit overnight. That's been my favorite so far.
