Hello,
Our company is wanting to bottle force nitrogenated flash chilled coffee (Coffee thats brewed hot and then rapidly cooled using a heat exchanger). We will be launching this on a small scale ( bottling from 5 gallon kegs), so neither widgets nor liquid N2 would be feasible. I understand that the classic nitro pour is typically only attainable when also using the nitro/stout faucet. I imagine the consumer would turn bottle upside down, then upright, then open to achieve the cascading effect. We don't necessarily care for there to be a crazy thick head on top, but we definitely want it to taste nitrogenated. Since this is coffee, we will be using pure N2 gas because CO2 significantly taints the taste of coffee.
Here is the process that I have in mind:
- Nitrogenate at a high enough psi (maybe 60ish)
- Purge out remaining O2 (using nitrogen?)
- Shake the hell out of it
- Let it sit for a week and shake it from time to time
- Dispense it at a low psi into bottles and cap on foam
Any thoughts or advice or insults would be greatly appreciated!
