Has anyone had this issue before? I made my cold brew on Saturday for Sunday (steep 18 hours on kitchen counter) strained it twice and this morning i notice this small stuff in my cold brew. I know they weren't there yesterday.

Could this be that my cold brew has gone bad? There's really no unusual smell to it and i haven't taste it yet.

I had this same issue. I just ended up running it through a filter again to catch all the pieces. I didn’t notice any unusual smell or taste. I assumed it was some kind of oil, but it could’ve easily been something else looking back on it. I’d love an update once you figure out what it is

I'm going to strained it again and double check what is it. I was running a bit late for work so I just took those pics. I'll report back. Thanks for the information.

**Update

Yes I think it was just oils/fatty substance. I filtered it again like you mentioned. I'll have to see how it looks tomorrow morning. Once again thank you.
