Cold brew concentrate finally clicked for me after 3 wasted batches

I kept seeing people rave about cold brew and honestly thought it was just hype. Tried it twice with regular ground coffee and got weak, sour stuff that tasted like dirty water. Then I watched a video where a barista in Portland said to use a 1:8 ratio and steep for 18 hours, not 12. Third batch came out smooth and almost sweet, no bitterness at all. Now I make a liter every Sunday and save myself about $25 a week on cafe iced coffees. Anyone else struggle with ratios before it clicked?
