Does anyone have any experience making cold brew on a large scale…say 5 gallons? I think the commercial places around me use home brew kettles to make their batches but I’m not sure how.
No idea, I guess 6 of those in parallel? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INHsc_Y07BY
Love his beard!
That’s awesome! I would love to get one of those! It would be a great show piece in the kitchen also.
To the original question. I don’t have any experience making that much cold brew at once. Would be interesting though.
Check out the Filtron Pro. http://www.filtron.com/
A friend who owns the local country store makes it with a sock similar to a mesh grain bag except with, I imagine since I haven’t actually seen it, a finer mesh. He makes it in a food grade bucket. He says its a bit of a pain, but it works and their iced coffee tastes great.
I do it that way, it is a pain, but I only make a coffee stout once a year. I use a grain bag then I filter it again through Butter muslin. Everyday coffee I use the small filtron.
Oakshire, where I do tours, converted a hopback into a cold brew espresso maker. 90 lb. organic espresso beans and 60 gal. of water yields 50 gal. of cold brewed espresso.
