Well, as a followup, the beer turned out pretty awesome. 20 PSI CO2 for two days (cold), and then serving with pure N2 at 20 PSI. Head improved after 48h on N2. Good cascade, good head.
-Creamy IPA on nitro: the stuff of dreams.
Thanks drgonzo2k2. I just moved my brew to nitro and I think I'll bump up the pressure. I have a nice carbonation at this point from two days on CO2, and the head was nice and creamy. However, I didn't get that good cascade yet. Maybe that will come after more time on nitro or higher pressure...
I'd like to hear an update on your pure N2 dispensing.
I'm about to switch an IPA to pure N2 after it carbonated on pure CO2 for a two days. This is my first whack at nitro, so I'm not sure the right PSIs. I'm carbonating at 20 PSI (CO2 obviously), and plan to dispense at 40 PSI (N2)...
