Hi all, I thought I'd share my latest... I built a bit of a prototype cold-drip tower out of some scrap jarrah I had laying around. I must admit, it's not finished yet, but I became impatient and just had to try it out!
It has three shelves, one for a feed bottle on top, one in the middle for the grinds holder, and one for the jug to catch the brew.
Top shelf consists of soft drink bottle with the bottom cut off, a 60 cent adjustable irrigation dripper tapped in to the lid and adjusted to approx 40 drips / min.
Middle shelf I've used my Aeropress brew chamber, with a metal S-filter. Grinds are added, gently tamped and some cut-down aeropress paper filters placed on top of the bed.
Bottom shelf, my Hario range server to catch the brew.
My recipe today:
58gm of Indo Wahana Natural, ground coarsely, very gently tamped, two paper filters on top so the drips don't cause an un-even extraction
600gm cold H2O in the soft drink bottle
100gm ICE blocks in the soft drink bottle
Time is approx 7 hours until completed.
Brew is then poured in to a storage bottle and kept in the fridge (can be kept for a couple of weeks, cold)
Serve straight on ice, or on ice with some sparkling water, or even with a dash of milk or condensed milk.
This is only the second brew I've done on it. Yesterday I did a Kenya Mihuti and it was very nice straight on ice, great aroma, lovely flavour and very little acidity.
I'm hoping this Wahana brew really slaps me in the face
it should be interesting!
One day I'll maybe construct a more impressive tower
