use that air brush compressor at your own risk cause it's not meant to be food grade so there could be oils vapor and stuff like that and it will condense in your drinks, same thing with co2, paintball tank refill places and stuff like that are not meant to be food grade, when dealing with drinks use EVERYTHING food grade including the gas, and not just clean it needs to specify food grade

Loving the home bar set up Dean. Great video.

thank you. you save my life

Hi Dean, your video was so helpful for me to build my own one for the bar . Also, I had a conversation about it with a rep in France. And the Cornelius keg / soda keg, are exactly the same as beer company use for cleaning beer line , it's called sanitation keg. (I didn't try it yet ) they are exactly similar but instead of having the a in and out , it have the tap head we put on normal beer keg, which allow you to have the CO2 directly in with that tap. whithout having the gas line in the "in". So if this normally work, we should have the cocktail passing by the cold system and coming out fresh.... I will let you know. Please continue your video. It's great 👌👌

Great video, thanks a lot. I am looking to buy a set up for parties. Even if the keg is fresh at the begining of the party, it will get warmer and warmer. Also, I read online that the picnic tap is not suited for high carbonated beverages, like soft drinks and cocktails. So, did you experience any foaming problems when serving the drinks ?

Can you provide a link for the compressor please im trying to do this in my home bar having issues

How do you know when the keg is pressurized enough when using the air pump method?

Your home bar is beautiful!

What if i would like to put in the keg something like and espresso Martini? Dose it come out with the foam?

Question, with using the air compressor with ambient air. Is there any oxidation in the vermouth?

There must be an internal tubing to push the liquid out right? Is it easy to clean?

What is the piece on the inside of the housing unit. I have the front part I’m just trying to attach it to the hose

Doesn't using air to pressurize it oxidise the drink? I'd imagine the vermouth in the negroni would start to go a little funky after a day or 2.

What Hose did you use for the Airbrush Machine>?

Does the CO2 make it carbonated? Like what if I want a cocktail without the carbonation?

would this work if I filled the keg with just a single liquor to have say draft vodka in my keezer?

this wont carbonate the beverage will it?

While this is a good overview of how to do it for parties and events this is not great for a cocktail that might be sitting for an extended period. Using the air brush pump (which is not designed for food and therefore possibly not safe for this use) you will oxidize your cocktail over time. This means that for example your vermouth will go bad. Using CO2 will carbonate your cocktail. This is fine if you're making a carbonated cocktail but if you are making a negroni you probably don't want it carbonated. If left at pressure with CO2 all waterbased liquid will carbonate, the level of carbonation will depend on temperature and pressure (more pressure = more carbonation, lower temperature= more carbonation). If you really want to do this and leave the cocktail for an extende period I'd set the pressure pretty low (2-4 psi) and not keep the cocktail too cold and simply serve it over ice with a quick stir.
