Understanding Iced Coffee Kegs
If you’re looking for a way to serve large quantities of iced coffee at your office or event, an iced coffee keg is a great option. Iced coffee kegs are available in a variety of sizes and can be used to serve both cold brew coffee and nitro cold brew coffee.
Types of Coffee Kegs
There are two main types of coffee kegs: stainless steel kegs and disposable kegs. Stainless steel kegs are durable, reusable, and can be used to serve both cold brew coffee and nitro cold brew coffee. Disposable kegs, on the other hand, are lightweight and easy to transport, but can only be used once.
When choosing a coffee keg, it’s important to consider the size of your event and the amount of coffee you’ll need to serve. Stainless steel kegs are available in sizes ranging from 2.5 gallons to 20 gallons, while disposable kegs are typically available in 5-gallon or 7.75-gallon sizes.
Benefits of Nitro Infusion
Nitro infusion is a process that involves adding nitrogen to cold brew coffee to create a smooth, creamy texture. Nitro-infused coffee is becoming increasingly popular, and for good reason. Nitrogen enhances the flavor and aroma of coffee, while also giving it a velvety texture that’s similar to a stout beer.
If you’re looking for a way to impress your guests, consider serving nitro cold brew coffee from an iced coffee keg. Nitro-infused coffee is a great way to add a unique twist to your event and keep your guests coming back for more.
At Office Libations, we offer a wide range of food and beverage solutions that help Bay Area businesses attract and retain top talent. With our iced coffee kegs, you can serve delicious, refreshing coffee to your employees and guests without the hassle of brewing individual cups.

The Basics of Cold Brew Coffee
If you’re looking for a refreshing and flavorful way to enjoy coffee during the summer months, cold brew coffee is a great option. Unlike traditional iced coffee, which is brewed hot and then chilled, cold brew coffee is made by steeping coffee grounds in cold water for an extended period of time. This results in a smooth, less acidic coffee that is perfect for sipping on a hot day.
Cold Brew vs. Iced Coffee
While both cold brew and iced coffee are served cold, they are made using different brewing methods. Iced coffee is brewed hot and then chilled, which can result in a more bitter and acidic taste. Cold brew, on the other hand, is made by steeping coffee grounds in cold water for an extended period of time, which results in a smoother and less acidic coffee.
Brewing Process and Concentrate
The process of making cold brew coffee is relatively simple. Coffee grounds are combined with cold water and then left to steep for anywhere from 12 to 24 hours. The resulting coffee concentrate can then be diluted with water or milk to create a refreshing and flavorful drink.
One advantage of cold brew coffee is that it can be made in large batches and stored in the refrigerator for later use. This makes it a convenient option for busy mornings or for serving a crowd.
At Office Libations, we understand the importance of providing high-quality food and beverage solutions for Bay Area businesses. Our cold brew coffee is made from the finest coffee beans and is brewed to perfection for a smooth and delicious taste. With our comprehensive food and beverage options, you can attract and retain top talent while keeping your employees happy and productive.
Setting Up Your Keg System
Setting up your iced coffee keg system requires a few essential items and considerations. In this section, we will cover choosing the right keg, kegerator essentials, nitrogen gas and pressure considerations.
Choosing the Right Keg
To serve your iced coffee on draft, you will need a keg to store and dispense it. The most popular kegs for home use are corny kegs, also known as ball lock corny kegs. These kegs are easy to clean and maintain and come in various sizes to fit your needs. At Office Libations, we recommend the SS Brewtech Brewmaster Edition Kettle, which is designed to work seamlessly with ball lock corny kegs.
Kegerator Essentials
A kegerator is a must-have for serving draft iced coffee. It is a refrigerator that is designed to hold kegs and has a built-in draft system. When choosing a kegerator, consider the size of your kegs and the number of taps you need. At Office Libations, we offer a wide range of kegerators to fit your needs, including the True TDD-1 Direct Draw Beer Dispenser, which can hold one half-barrel keg or two sixth-barrel kegs.
Nitrogen Gas and Pressure Considerations
Nitrogen gas is used to dispense iced coffee on draft. It gives the coffee a creamy texture and a smooth, velvety mouthfeel. When setting up your keg system, you will need to consider the pressure required to dispense the coffee properly. At Office Libations, we recommend using a quick cascade lid with a nitrogen regulator to ensure the perfect pour every time.
At Office Libations, we are committed to providing Bay Area businesses with the best food and beverage solutions to attract and retain top talent. Our iced coffee keg system is the perfect addition to any office break room or communal space. Contact us today to learn more about our products and services.
Serving and Enjoying Nitro Cold Brew
If you’re looking for a smooth, rich, and sweet coffee experience, nitro cold brew is the way to go. This creamy and chocolatey drink is perfect for those who want a unique and refreshing coffee experience. In this section, we’ll explore the different aspects of serving and enjoying nitro cold brew.
Dispensing Equipment
To serve nitro coffee, you need the right dispensing equipment. Nitro cold brew coffee kegs are a popular choice, as they allow you to store and dispense the coffee in a convenient and efficient manner. At Office Libations, we offer a range of dispensing equipment that can help you serve nitro coffee with ease. From kegerators to dispensing taps, we have everything you need to get started.
Taste Profile and Texture
Nitro cold brew coffee is known for its smooth and creamy texture, which is achieved by infusing the coffee with nitrogen gas. This process gives the coffee a unique taste profile that is different from traditional iced coffee. Nitro cold brew is often described as having a sweet and chocolatey flavor, with a rich and creamy mouthfeel.
At Office Libations, we believe that nitro cold brew is the perfect addition to any workplace. With our food and beverage solutions, we can help Bay Area businesses attract and retain the best talent. Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction is what sets us apart from the competition.
Maintenance and Sanitation
Cleaning the Keg and Components
Proper maintenance and sanitation are critical for ensuring the quality and safety of your iced coffee keg. To keep your keg and components clean, follow these steps:
- Disassemble the keg components and clean them separately. Use a cleaning solution specifically designed for kegs, such as this one, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for dilution and application.
- Rinse all components thoroughly with clean water.
- Sanitize all components using a food-grade sanitizer, such as Star San. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for dilution and application.
- Reassemble the keg components and store the keg in a clean, dry place.
It is recommended to clean and sanitize the keg and components every time you change the coffee batch. Additionally, it is important to keep the refrigerator where the keg is stored clean and free of any potential contaminants.
Keeping Coffee Fresh
In addition to proper maintenance and sanitation, it is important to keep your iced coffee fresh to ensure the best taste and quality. Here are some tips for keeping your coffee fresh:
- Use high-quality coffee beans and grind them fresh just before brewing.
- Store the brewed coffee in a clean, airtight container and refrigerate immediately.
- Use the coffee within 24-48 hours for optimal freshness.
- If you are using a commercial iced coffee keg, make sure to choose a reputable supplier, such as Office Libations. They offer food and beverage solutions that help Bay Area businesses attract and keep the best talent.
By following these maintenance and freshness tips, you can ensure the best possible taste and quality from your iced coffee keg.
