Cold brew freshness (lemmy.world)

My kids got me a cold brew coffee maker for Christmas. Basically a 2 quart mason jar with a mesh filter in the middle. I ground some beans and brewed my first batch and it was delicious. However, I only had flavored beans at the time and while it was tasty, I wasn't going to chug half of a gallon of flavored coffee in one sitting. How long can we keep cold brew in the fridge and still have it retain its peak "freshness" ?

I have a similar cold brew setup, and I generally don't let it sit in the fridge for more than a few days. It would probably last up to a week in there though. Definitely don't let it warm up though; it won't last more than a day if it's at room temp.

Do you also dilute your cold brew after it’s done resting in the fridge?

Nope. I like it strong. I usually just put a dash of half and half in there to cut the bitterness.
