Ice After

by Lance Hedrick

Lance Hedrick's flash brew approach to iced coffee — brew hot like a normal V60 at 1:12, then add the ice after drawdown to flash-chill in the decanter. Unlike Japanese-style iced (where ~40% of the water is ice in the server), the full 240g hits the bed at brewing temp, so extraction is unconstrained and the cup comes out crisp, floral, sweet and fruity rather than under-extracted.

Notes

The whole idea: don't compromise extraction to get cold coffee. Brew the hot V60 you'd actually want to drink, then snap-chill it. Ratio is intentionally tight at 1:12 (vs 1:16–17 for hot) — the post-brew ice will dilute, so you brew a bit stronger to land at the right strength once melted. No ice in the decanter while brewing. Ice goes in after drawdown is complete: add ~60g of ice to the brewed coffee in the server, swirl/stir until the ice has mostly melted and the coffee is cold, then pour over fresh ice in your serving glass. Grind a touch coarser than your typical hot V60 — Hedrick goes around 6 (medium-coarse) — because the tight ratio and full hot contact would otherwise push extraction high. Temperature less than boiling — anywhere from 92-96°C is fine; this isn't a high-extraction cup.
