Exodus Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 I thought I'd share my recent project. My wife and I have been slowly starting a coffee delivery business and wanted to have a portable nitro coffee and tea system to take with us. I decided to build a nitro keg kit into an Igloo 70qt Maxcold cooler and it turned out really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 This is pretty cool, are you planning to have a full food license or just distribute ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 I have no idea what that is or what you intend to do but if it could deliver quality coffee to me anytime and anywhere I 100% support it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm sure you have). Very smooth, the micro bubbles give it a much different feel, almost creamy. Nitro coffee is very similar. If you already like the flavor, it adds a unique twist to the cup.

Exodus Posted June 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 This is pretty cool, are you planning to have a full food license or just distribute ?? We plan on bottling 64oz Growlers and 32oz Boston Rounds with cold brew and doing free delivery in Grandview/UA since that's where we are at, but we will also try and do events like farmers markets and bring the nitro system with us. I wanted an all in one system instead of lugging around kegs and tanks with a jockey box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very smooth and I think makes Cold Brew Coffee so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 is your tank just nitrogen? where did you get it filled? where did you find a ball lock keg that small? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodus Posted June 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 is your tank just nitrogen? where did you get it filled? where did you find a ball lock keg that small? Yep, that is 22 cu ft aluminum nitrogen tank that Geer Gas filled with pure food grade nitrogen (we prefer pure nitrogen over beer gas). Also got the 3 gallon corny from beverage elements. https://beveragelements.com/beverage_elements_shop/kegs/new-ball-lock-kegs/3-gallon-ball-lock-keg-single-handle-new-aeb/ Also installed the infusion keg lid that takes the nitrogen and pumps it directly to the bottom of the keg. So far so good. No need to shake or roll the keg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if we want to brew cold brew at one location and dispense at a farmers market or something like that, then a license is required though the local health department.

Makes my head spin trying to figure all this out lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
