I'm no atheist scientist, but...
So, I decided to buy a "stout" tap and nitro faucet. I'm actually not the biggest fan of nitro'd stouts but i do like pub ales, esb's, etc on nitro.
while assembling the nitro kit i realized I have absolutely no idea what i'm doing.
So, I bought a faucet and a nitrogen regulator. The Nitrogen regulator has a male coupling. Which is obviously different from the CO2 female coupling. Ok, nitro tanks must be different than CO2 tanks.
so i'm reading the process. apparently you carbonate as normal with CO2 (to a low vol) then you switch it over to nitrogen. Ok, no problem. However, what I have been noticing is people tend to use "nitrogen" and "beer gas" (70% nitro / 30% co2) pretty interchangeably.
So i got my local gas shop and ask for beer gas. Ok, he brings a bottle out. It has the same coupler as CO2 - female end. I told him my regulator has a male end. He said then I'm probably looking for pure Nitrogen.
tl,dr: Anybody know how to probably use a nitrogen setup??
