Using a cream whipper to nitro charge a pint

[klyph]

I'm not sure if this is possible, but I was wondering if it would be feasible to fill a cream whipper

with carbonated beer, then charge it with nitrogen and dispense into your pint glass simulating a nitro tap.

Thoughts?

cream chargers contain N2O which is not the beer gas you're looking for. asked and answered, utfse

Ah, I figured it was a dumb question. Don't suppose they make little canisters of N2?

Sorry for my hasty reply, I'm having one helluva DMV day right now. i think tap-a-keg.com has N2 chargers. not sure that the results from a cream dispenser would be comparable to a draft setup though.

Yeah, it was just a hair-brained idea, sounds like more trouble than it's worth though.

it could give you giggly beer

I don't think you'd get what you're expecting, but it might be some sort of whipped beer!

I've seen all kinds of tricks to simulate a "nitro pour" but none of them are the same as the real deal. Yea you may get a lot of bubbles and head, but it's not the same as using a stout faucet with a gas mix (75% Nitrogen, 25% CO2). The bubbles should rush down the glass the whole time (never up) and once it settles do the second part of the pour, and you end up with a long lasting, thick, creamy head. Although you still have plenty of people with the right setup that still have terrible pours.
