Great review, very thorough! Thank you for your time
I picked one up at a garage sale today. New for $10.00 I’m excited to try it. Have to buy the nitro cartridges for it.
Thatlooks amazing!
Thank you for the demo. What is the name of the grinder?
The website in the link description sells N20. I highly recommend pure nitro as that's a better tasting element and infuses better. Using pure nitro will get your drinks to taste similar to what they sell at starbucks.
Taste is a personal choice. There have been many customers for both sides of which gas to use. Just because you prefer one does not mean everyone else will like the same, just like not everyone likes the coffee shop chain you mentioned.
@@1st-lineequipment you are right. I stand corrected.
1st-line Equipment Nitro coffee is infused with nitrogen, not nitrous oxide. You can call it a matter of taste but N20 is a half witted attempt at achieving what you get when you use nitrogen. Try a Nitro Press.
JesusIsGOD Don’t stand corrected. Nitrogen is the way to go.

The cartridges that were sent with the uKeg I ordered came with CO2 Chargers. Not nitrogen. The description reads "CO2 Chargers for uKeg 128 models". Did I get the wrong cartidges ? Follow up question is it okay to consume CO2 ?
Can this be used to make draft lattes?? If you add milk into it? Or will that ruin it?/ not work?? Similar to the la colombe drinks if you have heard of them
Could I please get a link to the brewer that was recommended to help with the 12-24 hour wait time?

I just got the UKeg for craft beer. If I get nitro cartridges would I be able to use it for cold brew coffee?
Super sorry, we are not beer experts. Hence, we are unsure of cross compatability. Although we assume there may be some differences with differing, but similar products, this is something you need to ask the manufacturer directly.
I would say no. The ukeg growler is a vessel, the nitro cold brewer actually has the internal components to allow the coffee to steep, the tap is also specific to nitrogen and not CO2. The Nitro and CO2 charger may also be a different sizes.
If you fill it with premade coffee I would say sure. Plenty of home brewers have cold brew coffee with their nitro beer setup.
Could you perchance put in other liquids/drinks (in my case I'd like to try a rootbeer).
I imagine you could. I have the uKeg kegs for beer, and I've used them to serve Moscow Mules and Mojitos (add mint to the glass as you serve, not the keg). I think a nitro rootbeer would be pretty tasty.
@@mdcoomer67 it does sound pretty good. The closest I’ve come to finding a great root beer is Death Valley
can i just use this to make cold brew? do i have to infuse and use nitro?
This is simply a nitrous infuser
Had to send it back. I’m a true taste of the stout coffee guy and the n2o didn’t do it for me. I went with a maker that did n2. However, my wife enjoyed the sweetness the n2o made.
Can you infuse after you pour? We followed the instructions but our first glass was not very nitro charged. We are hoping to infuse longer but not sure if that's okay.
Most likely a one time use
@@hynos323 no
I left this on infuse and poured will this matter
We did the same. You should be ok.
Thanks
How many times can the cartridge be used?
Once. It discharges all of the nitrous oxide inside of it
That's a lot of work for some coffee
Which kid of gas was used? Nitrogen, nitrous oxide or CO2?
Nitrous Oxide
Pure nitrogen is best
Is the beer one really much different? Can I use that one for nitro cold brew too? (Just use a nitro cartridge instead of co2)?
Sorry, we do not sell the beer version, nor are we familiar with the beer version. Hence, we can not answer this question.
Thanks for the video. I just got one of these as a Christmas gift and the growlerwerks videos didn’t give quite as much info. I assume I’ve done something wrong because I’m getting a cup of foam and no Guinness Effect with mine.
If it has been siiting for a while, turn knob to infuse, shake the growler, turn knob back to pour, and tben immediately pour.
You probably did everything right. It just doesn’t work. It’s a waste of money.
@@doingittodeath3858 wrong gas. you need nitrogen not that whip cream gas that is easy get
Couple of things might be happening. 1. Cold Brew requires nitrogen charges which are a different gas than beer which uses carbon dioxide cartridges. 2. Getting a cup of foam can be the result of OVER pressurizing the cold brew with your NO2. You may want to try dialing back the amount you infuse or how much pressure you pour at
:( Says discontinued!
the part where you wait for 24 hours there was something wrong with the edit.. after the 24 hours you add more water? you didn't mention how much/ what is the second filling line?
We didn't mention how much because it depends on your taste, experimenting, and type of coffee.
It wasn't the edit. They should've mentioned that how much water you'll want to add will depend on the type of coffee and your personal taste preference. Would've taken all of about 4 seconds.
I just got a home nitro system! I just did a review too
AM2PM self promo?
Really hard to get cold brew 😂😂
Exactly. 😱☠️
What's the point of coffee maker to make it more convenient you have to wait 24 hours you would think they have some technology that could actually speed that process up
Cold brew takes 24 hours because as the name describes, its brewed in a cold temperature and not hot like traditional coffee. As a result, it takes much longer to extract all the flavor and caffeine from the beans, which also yields a stronger, more potent and full flavored beverage. The longer it brews for, the stronger the coffee. You cant speed up a process like this, it would be the same as saying "why cant you make wine in 24 hours and not several weeks."
@@Deathlikesensation you do know what I mean by have some technology it means have some technology that can be cold enough quicker. You know to make it Brew faster. Did you think I was saying that a device that doesn't use cold to brew it and it just magically becomes cold brew? It's obvious I meant a device that's more convenient that speeds up the process not totally skips the process magically. Of course it still has to brew and cold temperatures that's obviously not what I meant. Lol
@@higurashianduminekoconnect1702 Use a dry ice freezer or liquid nitrogen cooling. You can get any liquid down to temperature REALLY fast
You and everybody else WarriorotCross. Don't buy directly from GrowlerWerks, they won't take it back. Maybe 1st-Line would, Amazon definitely will. This thing only produces a sad foam, like a beer tap pour...nitro infusion lasts seconds, and not minutes like a proper setup, there is no creaminess or taste change with this unit. Buy a real setup and make your own with a dorm fridge, nitrogen 20cu.ft tank, and 2.5gal keg with a tap and regulator. For literally $200 more than what this thing costs, you can have a legit pro setup that does what it should do. Good luck. Manufacturer of this thing should take it off the market.
LOL. We sold many in December after testing a sample inhouse. Guess how many return requests? ZERO.
(Rant on) And btw...learn a 'little' about coffee before making recommendations. 2.5 gallons of cold brew coffee for a single user at home? Do you think it will taste good after a week? Not. Most independent coffee shops discard cold brew within 1-3 days. Why? Flavor. Mold or fungal build up. Why do you think the manufacturer recommends a cleaning regimen? (Rant off)
Tech Logik You’re exactly right
1st-line Equipment LOL. (Rant on) Take a look around at the amount of comments that follow these UA-cam “demos”, Growlerwerks blogs, Instagram, etc... that all say that it doesn’t work as advertised
1st-line Equipment You are motivated to sell these things so of course you’re going to get snarky when somebody talks about how it doesn’t work as advertised. Too many people have used them exactly as instructed with garbage results but all of the ones you have sold are perfect? Maybe some people just don’t bother to return them and chalk it up to money wasted.
@@doingittodeath3858 How much is the contraption?
Sounds so complicated
I will pass
And the are dumb suckers that would buy this unnecessary gadget. Just use a regular (big enough) liquid container or pitcher and pour.
no nitro in your version. so... who is the dumb dumb?
