Really? I thought you should put it right away in the fridge. So just put it there when it's done? What is the difference between 12-24 hours brewing?

You can put it in the fridge. Extraction is just weaker (than I like) at lower temperature with thermodynamics and everything.
At 12 hours, you have lighter extraction than 24 hours.
I think about it like chemistry: more interaction between solvent (water) molecules and solute (coffee grounds), more extraction. So adding any of these is more interaction and extraction:
  • time
  • temperature (hot molecules move more than cold ones)
  • motion
  • finer solute (finer grind)
One thing I haven't tried is adding motion. I'd like to maybe get a shaker or stirrer that I can leave on for the full brew.
