@quixoticjeremy get @RojoLoco to share his recipe with you
plz!
Damn, I guess I get to retype it...
Ok, get a 1 gallon glass carboy (yes glass, no not plastic or anything else)
Make sure you have some cheesecloth and a clean, food grade funnel and another glass container(s) that will hold basically a gallon of liquid
Get a 12oz bag of light roast coffee beans. Place them in a food processor or large coffee grinder and pulse until just coarsely cracked
Place said cracked coffee beans into aforementioned carboy. Fill to the top with cold spring water (this won't take quite a whole gallon. (Elementary school science will tell you why)
Cover the top with plastic wrap, shake it around a bit, then place into the fridge. Shake or stir at least once a day, every day for 4-8 days. Caffeination level is dependent on extraction time, so more time = more caffeine. When it has extracted long enough for you, strain through a few layers of cheesecloth into mason jars or other glass receptacles. Seal up containers and keep refrigerated. Don't start out with over 3-4oz at a time until you see how much it will crack you out. This is iced coffee concentrate, tread carefully.
I like mine over ice with a splash of 2% milk and maybe a whisper of cinnamon. On the weekend, I add some rum or bourbon as well.
Don't let your coworkers know that you have it or it will be gone. The cold brewing process makes the most clear, unobscured coffee flavor I've ever had.
That sounds like entirely too much work for some drugs.
Other than the initial set up all you have to do is swirl it once a day. Not that bad.
My carboy I just shake. Good caps make things easy.
Not sure I worded that well for around here

You do have to be careful how you word things here, don't you? lol

@jaredbusch Yes, I know. I use "What are you doing right now," differently than everyone else. I post to it with like Twitter. The nature of people on ML is to help; thus, they take what I post and provide an answer to what they think I'm asking.
That being said, I do appreciate the tip on DTMF.

@quixoticjeremy Enjoy it in good health, sir! But seriously ease into it. My first batch had me up for nearly 48 hours.
I recommend 7-8 days for the best results.
We had two pots of coffee then espresso yesterday.

That's about where I am right now.

I wonder if I could make this cold brew in a growler. . .
Might be a bit more economical to try it out at first.

Heading home. Plane of Sky raid tonight.

Deactivated my twitter account.
Not sure why I kept it for so long. I never did much with it. -

Actually Teching a little bit tonight... Installing Solus 3 in a VM at the moment.

It is a seriously gorgeous OS. Budgie is a great desktop environment. But the lack of app compatibility with Solus is troublesome. Reminds you of BeOS.

Trying to figure out how to get the VirtualBox tools installed in it now. It runs well otherwise though.
