Dilute

Add about 110 g of hot water to the concentrate and taste as you go.

Notes

A big dose, a coarse grind and a short contact time, then roughly 110 g of water added at the end to bring it back to drinking strength. This is the shape most championship recipes have taken ever since: brew something concentrated and correct, then dilute it. Water here is brewing plus bypass.
