1. Insert institutional
filter into strainer. Put strainer and filter into brewing container.
2. Pour 5 lbs. of regular
ground coffee into institutional filter. Pour 7 quarts of cold water
into open filter, making sure to saturate coffee grounds evenly.
3. Tie commercial filter
approximately 3 inches from top, leaving plenty of room for coffee to
move around and absorb water. (Tying the bag too tightly will cause a
dry pocket and coffee concentrate will be very weak.)
4. Add 7 more quarts of cold
water into brewing container.
5. Let brew for 8-24 hours,
do not disturb during brew.
6. Drain concentrate into
suitable storage container. If grounds block spigot, move away from
spigot as gently as possible. (Yield should be approximately 10 qt)
7. Lift strainer containing
filter and grounds from brewing container. Dispose of filter and
grounds. Be careful, filter is fragile when wet and subject to tearing.
Rinse strainer and air dry.
**Please note: Filter
holder/strainer is re-usable; however, commercial filter is not
re-usable.
