Im doing a cold brew at room temp 1:7
I was wondering how many hours you recommend? Its blue bottle beans medium roast
And the difference between doing it at refrigerator temp and room temperature?


I was thinking 14?

There are several ways of doing it. Depends on the type of brewer. I made my own and I do it in the refrigerator but if are doing it in the room temp, you should not leave it out longer then 3-4 hours or use ice to fill up the water. It will slowly melt.

I do batches at room temps for at least 18 hours with good results.

We do it in the fridge -- 24 hours. But why not just jar-up about six brews and see how they work at say 4-hour intervals? Whatever you like best make that into a big batch.

in the room temperature, I leave it alone for around 14 hours

My experience has been to brew 18-24 hours in a refrigerator. Brewing at a lower temperature is nice because it reduces the amount of oxidation that occurs before you can even drink it, but because you are brewing at a lower temp, it takes longer to reach full brew strength (just think about it: faster, more energetic water molecules will extract water-soluble compounds more quickly than slower methods). Either way, it really pays off to have an airtight container. Hope this helps!

Drinking some Sumatra right now that I cold brewed in the fridge in pint jars, about 24 hours.
