Cold Brew

Weber Bird Weber by Raymond Detweiler

Raymond Detweiler's cold-brew entry in the Weber Workshops BIRD guide starts extraction with a hot bloom before a refrigerated steep, yielding a smooth, aromatic concentrate with more definition than a fully cold infusion.

Bloom 1 / 6

Pour 75g in a spiral. Let it bloom.

+75g→ 75g Spiral 86°C
Pour 2 / 6

Pour the final 175g gently to 250g.

+175g→ 250g Fill gently

Press 5 / 6

Notes

Wet all grounds during the hot bloom, then chill promptly in a covered vessel to limit oxidation. Expect the compacted cold bed to need firmer vacuum pressure; increase force progressively instead of jolting the slurry.
