Thinking about converting one tap to nitro. For the people who have done it, was it worth it? Would you do it again?
Yes.
I have one and love it. I rotate a stout and an Irish Red on the tap. Very nice.
In fact I am drinking an Irish Red from the tap right now.
Not sure what's expensive, but I have this one and have had no problems. It works as advertised.
As far as carbonation, yes, I carb first with straight CO2, then push with beer gas.
Ok thanks. I was just curious. Does it still have the texture of a guiness or boddingtons on draft?
Why, yes. Yes, it does.
Then it looks like you answered the original question. It's definitely worth the money for a nitro tap!
I bet that irish red is awesome too!
Actually, it never occurred to me to try an Irish red on nitro until Beergolf just mentioned it. I'll have to check that out.
How do you carbonate the beer? Do you use co2 then use the nitro to serve?

I set my nitro tap at about .35 psi to serve.
damn they are expensive.. I want 2 nitro taps and I am gonna be into about 350-400 bucks it looks like.. or an I messing up?
Did you mean 35 psi?

I wanted to add a nitrogen tap, but every time I called a local gas supplier they didn't know what I was talking about or said they didn't carry it. Can anyone tell me what specific gas to ask for from airgas?
SHMBO peeked at what I was reading... Said a big fat no. So now I have to find out the true cost and do an analysis and see if I can sneak on in. Rofl!
