Hey everyone, so I put my stout/porter setup to good use recently which also included a 5 lb tank for G-mix (75% nitrogen, 25% CO2). I carbed the stout with my 10 lb CO2 tank for a week, all good there. Hooked up my 5 lb nitro tank to the 5 gallon keg and the beer came out awesome, very happy. However, after about 2 months (yes I drink slowly I guess) the nitro tank had nothing left. My 10 lb CO2 tank lasts much longer, granted it is double the size but I was shocked that the nitro tank was empty. So I instantly thought leak in the keg or tank, nope didn't find any. So now the question, does Nitrogen absorb faster than CO2? I was pushing the Nitro tank at around 25 psi. Thanks!
