    Issues with Nitro

    I got the calc from here. It actually suggested 47 PSI on beer gas but at 44 it blew one of the ball locks off the corny. I'm satisfied at 42 might try dropping it by a few LBs just to see if there is a noticeable change in the pour quality. http://mcdantim.com/distributor-tools/calculators/

    Blonde Guinness

    In an effort to prove some friends wrong that Guinness is not a heavy beer I'm setting out to create a blonde Guinness recipe. Basically a Guinness clone less the roasted barley. But before I do I thought I would see if anyone has done before? Or is this just a waste of water and time.

    Issues with Nitro

    I'm going to try and pull some carb off tomorrow by bleeding pressure from the keg and I will try doing a serve pour at above 30 psi perhaps 35. One thing I forgot to mention was that on day one it was working like a champ except I could do one perfect pour with nitro at 30 psi but if I went to...

    Issues with Nitro

    Just for some context here is a pic of a typical pour. The head will take about 8-10 min to dissipate and after it does there is little retention. And whatever is left will be uneven and spotty in bubble composition. Looks more like soap suds.

    Issues with Nitro

    Set it to about 20 PSI during the shake and roll, As for the blend it supped to be 75/25 and i'm serving at 30PSI. As for an ideal carb level I'm thinking 1.5-1.8 unless lower is more desirable for an nitro beer?

    Did the shake and roll method for carb'n with the temp of the at about 34 F. I have another batch (Guinness Clone) that will be ready for kegging in a few more weeks and want to do that one properly. I don't have a stone but see no issue with picking one up or should I just toss CO2 on it for...

    Issues with Nitro

    This is my first run with Nitro aka beer gas and I'm having mixed results with a Boddy clone. My main issue is too much foam and no head retention. My keezer is set to about 41f and my tap is about 14ft away on a refrigerated long draw system. My setup is the following. * C02 tank...
