Home Brewing Notes:

Greg ended up steeping at a 1:8 ratio, roughly (12oz coffee:100oz water)

Steeped in a large, one-gallon glass jar

End product was slightly bitter – this was likely due to two factors:

steep time too long
inconsistent grind from my grinder

Pros of making your own cold brew:

Unlimited potential with notes, steep time, etc. You get to exercise control
Bulk production. A $16 bag of coffee will last you a week or more
Impress your friends?

Cons of making your own cold brew:

If you mess it up, you’ve tricked off an entire bag of coffee
Container size/storage
Work. No instant gratification. It takes a while. Anywhere from 12-24 hours.
Straining. This can be a big pain if you don’t have something like a fine cheesecloth bag for easy removal of coffee grounds/liquid straining.
