Note: We recommend 50% coffee, 25% Vodka and 25% Kahlua for best results. Also insert one bulb of N2O then shake, then insert a second bulb to pour. In a 2l keg only one bulb of N2O is needed.
Mini kegs are single walled stainless steel. They are easy to store, stackable and chill quickly. There are insulation sleeves available for them.
Growlers have a double wall construction with a vacuum between. This means they have excellent insulation and will keep the contents cold (or hot) all day without needing ice or fridge. The growlers have a wider mouth and need an adapter to fit the tap system, this is included in any package using a growler.
This is the part that screws into the mouth of the keg or growler. All have a quick connect post for the tap (allowing it to be removed for transport, storage or while shaking) to attach to and a 75psi pressure release valve. There are 3 choices for the gas inlet.
The tap options produce the same end result and by removing the sieve plate in the spout they can all be used for beer as well as coffee or cocktails. You can remove the tap at any point as valves in the post on the keg will prevent gas or liquid leaking.
You will need some gas to be able to use your gear, you can add it to your cart below.
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 join.
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.
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.
Another option that can work particularly well is to inject a nitrogen bulb, shake then leave overnight. Use a N2O bulb to dispense and get the best of both worlds!
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 however in the same manner, inject one or two, pour, add more as needed. 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. 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.
