I would figure out your environment variables first. It's likely based on what you're saying that your setting those variables only for interactive shell and not someplace where they are sourced by your WM or whatever is launching your WM.

Check out this section of the ArchWiki article. The rest of the article may also have some useful info.

Oh good, now I just need to acquire a suis vide :)

I do generally mix the cold brew half and half with filtered water. I do have to say, I love sparkling water of all kinds, but I tried this with sparkling water and was not a fan, haha.

I will admit I haven't given that method as much serious consideration as I probably should. I've done it several times and it has always tasted different from how I like it. The main reason I probably don't do it more often is that I don't actually own a coffee maker of any kind.

This is my general method, but I do brew for only 8-12 hours instead of a full 24. I did recently do a batch in the fridge and noticed the flavor profile was different, so I might have to switch over. So many variables... confusedmathlady.gif

Did you ever experiment with the difference between brewing room temp and fridge?

 

So I know the accepted practice for cold brew is to do a coarse grind, and to brew somewhere between 8-24 hours depending on whether you're doing it at room temperature or in the fridge.

But is this really necessary? Could I just use a finer grind and brew for less time? I'm asking because when you grind coarse, you end up having to use a lot more coffee beans (mass) than you would for the equivalent volume of any other type of coffee.

For context, I'm using a coffee sock which is just a glorified reusable coffee filter, so I don't think that grind size is going to impact filtration that much.
