Shouldn't be any problem. It sounds like you'd finish the batch in 2-3
days, and the coffee would be fine in that period. I've kept brewed
coffee in the fridge up to 5 days and it's been unspoiled. Over 5 days
would probably make me nervous, tho, even if there's no sign of
spoilage. Three days sounds about right to also ensure that the coffee
stays flavorful.
