iKegger Nitro Coffee Keg With Gas Comparison (Nitrogen vs Nitrous Oxide)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 лют 2019
- This is a superseded version of our Nitro Keg. It's now been upgraded to the iKegger 2.0 system which allows using Nitrogen or Nitrous Oxide in a mini regulator so that you can see and set the pressure to whatever you like then pour with the push of a button. See it on our websites at www.ikegger.com www.ikegger.eu or www.ikegger.co.nz
This information about the difference between Nitrogen and Nitrous Oxide is still relevant however it should be noted that in the years since I made this video I think that pure nitrogen gives a more RELIABLE foam on espresso martinis. Nitrous Oxide can be a lot easier and faster to produce the foam, and it uses less gas, however, it seems to be more affected by alcohol content, oils in the coffee, and the time between infusing and serving the martinis than pure Nitrogen is.
I think using Nitrous Oxide can be great if you are in a hurry and want to serve the cocktails asap, but the foam may dissipate fairly quickly after pouring depending on factors above. Pure nitrogen takes longer to absorb, everything must be chilled and either well shaken with the gas or left to sit overnight but the resulting foam stays on the martini till the drink is finished. You can also use one of each bulb for a mix of their effects. - Навчання та стиль
thanks buddy 👊🙂
how long and how well used is your keg? Wanted to get one myself, but wanted to make sure it was safe to use. It does seem that the pressure release works well enough to keep it safe
They are 100% safe. The keg has a pressure rating of 100psi the pressure release valve is 75psi. It will actually become safer over time as the spring in the release valve will slowly weaken with use and eventually start releasing gas at a gradually lower and lower pressure (you can reverse this by simply taking the spring out and stretching it a little).
Thanks! going to grab my beer growler and make some nitro cold brew! :)
Will this system work for a Guinness clone? Probably a 5l keg though.
Hi, thank you for sharing this! May I know how different does the coffee taste with N2O compared to N2? Is it sweeter and creamier?
Apparently coffee volume (liquid) is less with more froth produced when N2O is used. Does it feel like drinking coffee bubbles more than the coffee itself in term of the overall drinking experience? It is interesting and will definitely try it!
Also, may I know have this method been tried for nitro-latte?
Hi there, it is only very slightly sweeter and its still a liquid rather than foam, but a very creamy light liquid. We have tried with warm drinks yes, it works very well
I appreciate your video. Can I use this with hot coffee or any other hot beverage? Thank you.
Yes you can use it for any temperature
The insulated growlers will also keep the drinks hot as well as cold
@@IKEGGER I would like this for my food truck. How do I reach you and is there a way to try this and see if it will work for me? Thank you
It will be bad idea to use hot coffee because gas dissolve worse in high temp
@@hviolin Yes,correct.
What if we use water and c02 ?
What volumes of ingredients do you need to fill a growler with expresso martini? A quick google have me this:
Ingredients
50ml Grey Goose vodka
35ml coffee liqueur
1 shot (25ml) of CRU Light Roast (or other) espresso
Ice
The basic recipe we use is 50% cold brew coffee, 25% vodka and 25% kahlua but there are thousands of variations according to taste. High alcohol content will reduce the longevity of the foam (ie 100% vodka will never hold foam)
With the flow restriction tap, what setting is required?
Fully open, the flow control is only needed when using it for beer or other carbonated drinks
Any rosk of using n20 ? And what is the amount of n20 Can be use ?
This is great. Thanks for the tips. The nitrous oxide does look better. So when using 2 charges of nitrous oxide, how many glasses does it make until you have to put another gas?
Until the flow slows down, depends on the size of the keg and how much empty space it has in it when you start.
@@IKEGGER thankyou so much. So the void air space makes the difference too
What hoppens if you put one N2 and one N2O in the keg at the same time.. ??
Any problems with that ?
@UCpW63i_p71i05j3oCqY_irw thanks... i Will try it👍👍
Can you connect a nitrogen line from a nitrogen tank instead of cartridge
Yes absolutely, we have a kit to swap out the bulb injector for a ball lock post you can attach a regulator to with a quick connecter. www.ikegger.com/collections/mini-keg-spears-50l-keg-couplers/products/double-ball-lock-keg-and-growler-spear-the-double-ender?variant=41328348430491
Is this keg 2.5L or 5L?
Hi Ben, this is the 4L Growler
@@IKEGGER I'm thinking of buying the 2.5L so I can keep it cool in the fridge. What do you think?
@@benmoore3375 we stock 2, 4, 5 and 10L kegs. Any of these can be stored in the fridge, they are single wall insulated so will retain temperature for a good couple of hours, the growler is double-wall insulated so will retain temp even longer
I'm using the cream nitrous oxide chargers with a cream whipper. I get a similar effect. I don't like how much head you get. You're not generally able to pour as much coffee as with the pure nitrogen.
