Co2 or Nitrogen beer blend? - Page 2

Just for conversation purpose,

My setup is simple. Since I make wine as much as beer (20+ gallons a month) I have nitrogen tanks in storage/ conditioning room. So, by accident I put my stouts on nitrogen to condition once, for a month. When I went to carbonate I let some gas release but not fully. So I had them on 17lb co2 for about a week, with a little nitrogen still in the keg. When I served it, I had a rush of small, tan bubbles coming from the bottom, and a nice creamy head formed on top. This works every time for me

By accident I don't mean confusing nitro for co2, I mean I wanted to condition for a month on nitro but I didn't know It would dissolve with co2 and make the perfect stout pour.

By accident I mean I didn't expect the N to dissolve and mix with co2, but it did. Best accident ever

So lets say for all intensive purposes....i get a N tank to run a choc stout and want to do a 75/25 blend N/CO2 or whatever, can u adust the tanks within reason yourself to the keg by opening the N all the way and CO2 partial to blend them or is more needed? I have seen the micromatic deals bit i am not willing to spend $6-700 for that precise of a regulation. Surely there is a good ole boy way for the DIYers like myself...
