So short version of the situation is thus. After a buddy if mine I helped get into homebrewing ordered a keg system for himself, he didn't realize his wife got him one for his birthday. So I now inherited a new co2 tank/regulator and keg to add to my gear. I have no idea what I'm going to do with the spare tank.
So while enjoying a graff I pondered about stouts. Seeing as I recently resurrected my kegerator and I'm moving my brewing into Stout country I had to ask myself if I could use this co2 tank and a stout faucet. I believe somewhere here I read you DO need nitro for the stout, but I also thought I saw adapters for co2 tanks to convert to nitro regulators. Is this possible?
I only ask because given the price of a nitro setup + stout tap I wanted to see first if I could use this tank to some good vs having it stare at me and mock me from the brew closet. I just wanted to know what the best options might be for me here. I am enjoying stouts and found a few good recipes to tinker with so just makes sense to upgrade my system.
