Hey Brad. You are right. The sounds is not quite perfect. I tried exporting the sound from the Rode Mic but then had a few issues with the sync on the audio file. I think the variable compression rate is causing some issues.

Do you have plans to make a more affordable home use unit that is a one tapper and more compact? This is out of the realm of homebrewer pricing but I love this idea of easy nitro

We are working on a home unit that can be attached to a kegerator. So it's likely that we will have this in the future but the plumbing is a bit more complicated to setup. Hopefully some time next year this will be released.

If you've already got a kegerator, you're 90% of the way to having a real nitro setup. I don't see the value in adding this to a kegerator. This machine solves a very specific set of problems related to packaging refrigeration and nitrogen gas. Perhaps useful for a shop where the beverage could be stored remotely at room temperature with long lines leading to the machine. I wonder how much smaller/cheaper a single tap solution would be for home use. You'd likely be targeting someone who has zero refrigeration space available but does have space (perhaps in a basement or different room), does not want a kegerator, but has countertop or living room / office space for the machine. I also wonder just how much the beverage can be chilled. Is it able to instantly drop coffee from say, 72F to 40F?

imploding kegs seems like a segway to co2-less kegs (keg skins/keg goon bags). And hopefully a beer engine and cask!

Yes absolutely. If you want to avoid the whole imploding keg issue you can certainly just use a bladder. This is easy and quite cheap to do.

Looking forward to having one someday... Probably it won't come to South America, but we can always dream about it hahahaha

Looks very cool. The one without a chiller for a cheaper price would be nice, though. I have a kegerator setup so no need for a cooler. Or maybe a compressor that adds nitro to the existing lines on the go? Just saying :)

When you say sparkling, it will not carbonate like CO2 but it will infuse nitrogen into the beverage. The bubbles are quite different.

I assume it's just infusing the beer with air and not nitrogen. Obviously air is 78% nitrogen, so pretty high. I can't imagine this unit having a membrane system inside. A great idea seeing as the air is only added at the point of drinking!

@KegLand

9 ай бұрын

Yes that is correct. We are infusing the product with air not nitrogen so that statement is a bit more accurate.

At 1:45 what duotight fitting do you use to connect the carbonation cap directly to the regulator?

So is than means we dont need any nitrogen supply at all and the machine able to generate nitrogen from air?

@KegLand

9 ай бұрын

Yes that is correct. It sucks nitrogen from the ambient air and pushes it into the beverage. No cylinder required!

Can you make some Nitro solution for those who already have a kegerator just to add some Nitro capabilities?

I'd just get a nitrogen tank and regulator. Probably around a couple hundred including the first nitro fill. I run nitro coffee and two CO2 beverages in my 24" kegerator. Depending on the kegerator model, the tank would not necessarily need to be inside the kegerator or even in the same room. You could run the nitro line remotely.

Does it have a nitrogen filter? or does it just use atmospheric gas?

@KegLand

It uses atmospheric gas and pushes this into the beverage.

@@KegLand awesome thanks 🙏

So, if its just air being pressure-infused into the drink of choice, I get how that would have a similar affect to pure nitro, but why so high of a price? I mean, it's a beautiful product and I totally want one, but it seems like the kind of thing that could be done for less than half that price. Don't get me wrong, I understand making a profit. In fact, if I had the money sitting around, I would probably order this. I just can't help but wonder if kegland is going to get undercut in the near future by someone willing to sell the same basic thing a lot cheaper. Hopefully you guys have a copyright on the idea, not just the specific implementation of it.

The high pressures involved, compressor/HVAC system, two pumps, needle valves and venturi valves as well as fairly complicated plumbing do add up in cost.

So does it have a hollow fibre membrane system to pull nitrogen out of the air? That’s what the diving industry uses to pull nitrogen out of air to make Nitrox. Last I checked those membranes were pretty expensive.

Air is almost 80% Nitrogen. I suspect that this device simply compresses filtered Air. The dispensed beverages will be drunk immediately so the presence of Oxygen (~20%) is not a problem with regards to taste. There are 3 main methods used to separate Nitrogen from air: 1. Cryogenic distillation 2. Pressure swing adsorption. 3. Membrane nitrogen generation. All quite expensive and have high technical requirements. I am not sure what this unit costs.

It will need a compressor to generate those fine bubbles anyway. My guess is that this unit infuses filtered compressed air into the beverage and also has some sort of cooling system to chill the final product. The chilling could be done by expanding gas as well. (I think it's called the Joule-Thompson effect) I have dreams of being able to make a nice Guinness at home without opening a capsuled can - even if takes 5 minutes to separate in the glass. 😁

Will these be sold in the US?

The air is 80% nitrogen so this device chills the beverage and also forces nitrogen into the beverage as it passes through the chiller.
