Keg Quick Start and Care Guide

Quick start

Step 1: Sanitize & Fill

  • ​Rinse all stainless steel parts with warm water.
  • ​Fill the keg with your chilled beverage (Cold Brew, Stout, or Water + Electrolytes) up to approximately 70-75% full
  • Pro-Tip: For the best cascade, ensure your liquid is as cold as possible before infusing.

Step 2: Assemble the Spear

  • ​Insert the silicone hose into the bottom of the infusion spear.
  • ​Screw the spear onto the keg until hand-tight (do not over-tighten).
  • ​Attach the faucet to the front of the spear and the handle to the top.

Step 3: Charge & Infuse

  • ​Insert a 2g Pure N_2 (Nitrogen) non-threaded capsule into the holder.
  • ​Twist the holder onto the spear until you hear a brief "hiss"—this means the gas is released.
  • The Secret Shake: Shake the keg vigorously for 30–60 seconds. This allows the nitrogen to bond at a molecular level.

Step 4: The Cascade Pour

  • ​Tilt your glass at a 45-degree angle.
  • ​Pull the tap handle fully forward. Watch the "reverse cascade" settle into a creamy, velvety head.

Care & Maintenance

After Every Use:

  • ​Discard the empty gas capsule.
  • ​Flush the tap system by filling the keg with warm water and "pouring" it through the faucet until it runs clear.
  • ​This is especially important for Cold Brew and Stout to prevent residue buildup.

Deep Clean:

  • ​Hand-wash only. Use mild dish soap and a bottle brush for the interior.
  • ​Inspect the O-rings (seals) periodically to ensure they remain clean and supple.

Gas Compatibility Notice

⚠️ CRITICAL: This system is engineered exclusively for 2g Pure Nitrogen (N_2).

  • DO NOT USE N_2O: Results in a metallic, chemical taste.
  • DO NOT USE CO_2: Creates harsh acidity and high pressure that can damage the "Micro-bubble" system.
