My cold brew switched from sour to smooth after I ditched the metal filter

I've been brewing at home for about 8 months now, mostly using a stainless mesh filter in a mason jar, and I kept getting this sharp, almost bitter edge no matter how long I steeped. Last week I picked up a proper nut milk bag from a kitchen supply store in Portland for $6 and tried the same ratio of 1:8 with my usual coarse grounds. The difference was night and day, same 18 hour steep but the result tasted rounder and cleaner, like what I get from the shop downtown. Has anyone else noticed a big change just from swapping their filter cloth, or am I late to this particular trick?
