Hi all - I have some questions about gas mix for a nitro stout setup.
Essentially the question boils down to whether a nitro setup will work acceptably on 40/60 mix as opposed to the standard 30/70?
My question stems from the fact that in Australia the 30/70 mix comes with a different regulator connection (type 50) to standard CO2 systems that we all use (type 30). My gas supplier told me otherwise, saying that the 30/70 mix they signed me up for would be type 30 but then delivered type 50. And of course now my second regulator that I bought doesn't fit.
So I'm weighing up the options (altering my regulator, buying yet another) but thought that one obvious solution is to move to 40/60 - but I'd like to know how that would perform and whether or not it would be a backward step in terms of quality of pour, etc. Ultimately I'm after a good outcome and it would be very useful to get some advice from those people with direct experience of these blends.
