I've just spent a load of money of Nitrogen equipment only to find out I can't get it here.... is it worth driving 5 hours round trip to get it every other month?
I do not keg myself.....but i can tell you this.
I am a Guiness drinker....and when they changed the Bottles to be CO2 and got rid of the Nitrogen torpedo....I was very upset....now I only buy the Draught Cans...which still have the nitrogen torpedo.
When I do start kegging....I plan on nitrogen for my stouts...i am a huge stout fan.....but I will be sure to check on N2 availability myself.
I wouldnt use nitrogen for any other beer styles myself.
mashuganabrew, I know that Matheson/Valley has it here in Columbus. I'm in the welding business call on all on most of the industrial gas distributors in a 6 states including W.V. I think I can help you out if you would like.
Dude, holly mother of multiple posts 3 for the same question.
Man, that sentence and your avatar are well suited:rockin:

yes, beer + frustration + open source information = impatient and type crazy brewer... thanks for the info on the other posts though! (also I've noticed you get different responses depending on how you word your inquiries)
Can you get argon? It's more expensive but works just as well.
you also get vets and knowledgeable people to ignore you.
Yep, I've been asking for beer gas, although, I know I'm in trouble when I have to expleain what beer gas is..... LoL.. they all think I'm a loon or that I'm building a Meth lab...
This sounds corny but you would be amazed at what you can get done by showing up in person being friendly and offering beer or taking flowers. It is very easy to say no over the phone. It's hard to look a worn out home brewer and tell him face to face that his dreams of making creamy nitrogen beer are never going to happen.
Carbonate to around 1 volume with CO2. Serve on pure nitrogen or pure argon. It takes a long time for the pour to be adversely affected (so far, for me, at least several weeks - and I've never had a keg last long enough to prove that it will ever go flat without blended gas). If it ever does go a bit flat, force carbonate again.
