    American stouts with nitrogen widgets?

    Are there any American stouts capped or canned with the nitrogen widgets that are used in Guinness Draught cans/bottles? Is it something exclusively for Guinness?

    tips on incorporating ginger and lime

    I want to brew a ginger lime wheat ale (or belgian witbier) all-grain. I was inspired by Boulevard Radler beer. Aiming for 5% ABV with citrusy hop aroma (maybe Sorachi & Motueka hops). When is ideal to incorporate ginger and lime? During mash, boil, or fermentation? Thanks

    bottling with nitrogen

    **NOT FOR BEER** So I want to bottle cold press coffee, and minimize oxidation for longer shelf life (perhaps aim towards having a 2-3 week shelf life), without carbonating it. How can I cap with nitrogen without a beergun (I do not keg at this point)? Suggestions are welcomed :)...

    Bottling Cold Press Coffee

    Definitely do not want the coffee to be like fizzy soda. Is there a way to cap with nitrogen without using a beergun and keg? I do not keg, so I do not have a keg or CO2 tank.

    Coffee Stout (raw beans vs steeped beans)

    Results: The steeped version had less coffee aroma/taste, but very sharp subtle coffee taste The whole beans version had more coffee aroma and taste, but not as pronounced as I was aiming for. Perhaps I will leave the beans two days longer so it can acquire more coffee essence.

    Coffee beans in stout

    How do I cold brew? Should I use 20-24 ounces of cold water, or add hot water and drip, then let liquid rest for 24 hours at room temp?

    When to add yeast nutrient

    I bought yeast nutrient to help achieve better fermentation to my AG brew, since currently I am not making yeast starters. The label does not specify when to add the yeast nutrient. Should I add it to the boil, at flameout, or after chilling the wort?
