Just realized my cold brew was bitter because I was squeezing the filter bag

I use a nut milk bag in a 2 quart mason jar and for about 8 batches I would wring that thing out over the jar to get every drop. Every single batch came out harsh and dry no matter what ratio or grind I tried. My neighbor Ray watched me do it on his porch in Portland and said to just let it drip for 20 minutes and toss the bag. Did that on my next batch and it was smooth enough that I stopped adding milk to hide it. Anyone else wreck a batch by trying too hard to get the last bit of liquid out?
