Cold brew coffee is sweeping the world for a bunch of reasons
This keg system makes it super easy to have nitro cold brew coffee or cocktails on tap at home. Check out the video to see how easy it is!
The iKegger Coffee Spear
The Nitro Coffee Tap
Optionally Add A Vessel To Suit Your Needs
Here is the kit to turn your Nitro bulb use keg system to use different types of Nitrogen or Stout Gas Bottles
Kit includes :
-MK4 Multi Gas Regulator:Regulator comes with 1 meter of line and grey gas disconnect
-Your choice of Adapter for
-Ball Lock Gas Post which replaces the nitro bulb inlet and allows you to attach the regulator on the keg.Basically unscrew the nitro bulb inlet from the ball lock spear and screw this gas post in it's place
Gas Bottle is Not Included in the Kit!
If the drip is coming from the ring securing the tap to the shank adapter and disconnect then ensure you use the included tool to tighten the ring of the tap shank adapter onto the tap.
If there is a leak between the cone shaped part of the tap shank adapter and the liquid disconnect make sure you mesh the teeth of the tap and cone and use the tap as a lever to tighten that joint.
We provide 2 different gases for use when producing coffee, cocktails etc. These are pure nitrogen (N2) and nitrous oxide (N2O). Either can be used, it's up to personal preference however they behave slightly differently and it may take some experimentation to get the outcome you are looking for.
I personally use the N2O bulbs for all my nitro drinks for the following reasons
Some of the coffee roasters / cafes that we deal with do not like to use N2O however for 2 reasons.
These are all a matter of personal preference depending on what you want to achieve with your system and will likely require some experimentation on your part as things like coffee blend, strength, type of gas, pressure used, temperature served at, length of shaking and resting time will all alter the final product.
In general I personally use the following method:
If you are using pure nitrogen (N2) bulbs you will need to use more bulbs than this. I personally have not had enough experience to say how many, but on the packet it says one bulb per 500ml of coffee (I think that is an over estimation though).
If you are using a bottle of N2 gas then I attach the gas disconnect to the keg and turn the pressure up to 45psi (3bar). Shake well and then leave to sit for a couple of hours with the pressure still set to 45psi. You will also pour at 45psi so just check how the brew looks after a few hours by pouring a small amount. You can always speed up absorption by shaking the keg for longer or more vigorously.
At iKegger we genuinely love what we do.
That's why we do it!
