i gave 18hrs. for the 3rd brew.
since removal of all sediment is desirable
ive chosen a refined method for the filtering stage.
first, the brew is poured thru' 4 layers of cheesecloth
sitting on top of a dustmask.
any remaining liquid is squeezed from the cheesecloth thru' the dustmask,
as the dustmask doesn't allow for this degree of squeezability
whilst the cheesecloth doesn't filter as well as the dustmask
the final filtration is thru' a buchner funnel w/ hand-held vacuum pump.
here are all three brews together
ready to be reduced.
