Quick Start Guide

• 1. Add cold brew to the keg IMPORTANT: Only fill the 64 oz keg up to 50%-75% maximum (40 oz – 48 oz). The gas needs space to form! Filling the keg up all the way can cause unwanted pressure leakage, since the gas will need to escape! (Tip: If gas escapes, try only 40 oz next batch!)
• 2. Install the faucet: Attach plastic hose to the bottom of the spear, and attach faucet to spear, use wrench to tighten faucet onto spear. Note: do not overtighten spear onto keg, for easier removal after batch.
• 3. Put the Nitrogen2g N cartridge (sold separately) in jacket.
• 4. Screw in the nitrogen jacket until you hear a hissing noise.
• 5. Shake keg well (15-20 seconds), let it sit for 20-30 minutes to absorb gas from the 1st cartridge (sold separately), then add a 2nd cartridge! (sold separately, do 4 total for 128 oz). Then, put into refrigerator for 1 hr minimum.
• 6. Enjoy your nitro brew coffee!
• Note: All tap systems drip due to excess foam, so tap your glass on the edge of the stout faucet tip after you’ve closed the tap handle or lightly shake the keg forward to get the remaining coffee to flow out of the tip. Use our included tap plug to close off the faucet tip.

Foam Tips

• Your homemade cold brew won’t interact optimally with the gas if it is too watery or too concentrated. Try buying store-bought cold brew to test if the foam responds better, or, if brewing your own, do the following ratio: 7 oz of Ground Coffee *to* 28 oz of water = yields = 16 ounces of coffee concentrate. Then, add 32 ounces of water to the coffee concentrate to form an ideal blend of 48 oz of cold brew for your 64 oz keg. (Note: Use 96 oz for 128 oz keg) Note: try using less liquid, only 40 oz, if gas escapes (or 80 oz for 128 oz keg). Note: To liven up the top layer of your pour, substitute a few oz of cream in place of water — most shops do use cream in their cold brew before adding nitro, so this will help give you that same experience.
• Options: You should also try Nitrous Oxide cartridges, instead of Nitrogen, if you want more foamy results (cartridges not included – sold separately). For more foam, use Nitrous Oxide 8g cartridges (sold separately, 1 per batch for 64 oz keg), you will also notice a slightly sweet taste and you only need to use 1. For a classic stout flavor without the added sweetening, instead use 2 x Nitrogen cartridges (or similar brand) [not included – sold separately]. For maximum foam, be sure to shake the keg well (10-15 seconds) after each cartridge and to wait a minimum of 20 minutes between each cartridge (sold separately). Make sure to shake the keg every 24 hours to extend the life of the nitrogen cartridge (sold separately).
