Nitro duokit - High Capacity Nitrogen (N2) duotight kit
These nitrogen cylinders are perfect for Nitro Stout of Nitro Coffee. If you want to get a really nice creamy head on your stout or nitro coffee these disposable cylinders are the way to go.Â
Stout and nitro coffee requires high pressures (such as 2-3bar/40-60psi) so the product can push through the perforated disk that is inside our nitro spouts.
These elevated pressures require Nitrogen because if CO2 was used at this high pressure the CO2 would absorb into solution and over-carbonate your beverage (if it's stored cold). As a result Nitrogen is necessary in this application.
Nitrogen doesn't dissolve into solution like CO2. Even at elevated pressures only very small amounts of nitrogen will dissolve into solution. It doesn't form the weak hydrogen bond with the liquid like CO2 and for that reason it does not dissolve into water based beverages easily like CO2.
Please note this kit DOES NOT INCLUDE gas tubing
We would reccomend EVABarrier 4mm ID x 8mm OD
OR EVABarrier 5mm ID x 8mm OD tubing
AND a Tube Cutter
This kit includes:
1 x M10 Inert Gas Regulator
1 x 2.2L Disposable Nitrogen (N2) Gas Cylinder
1 x FFL x 8mm duotight Connector for Regulator
1 x 8mm duotight Gas Ball Lock Disconnect (Red/Grey)
We also recommend purchasing a stainless steel Stout Tap, a Nuaktap compatible nitro stout spout or a creamer disk (as needed) - this is required with a nitro setup to get that beautful, cascading, creamy head.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are removing the regulator at any point you MUST use a spanner to hold the brass neck of the cylinder. Failure to do so could cause the strong adhesive glue to crack and the cylinder detaches from the fitting.
Please note this item cannot be sent with Australia Post.Â
