Just got done brewing this and I have to think the style would liken itself really well to hooking up to nitro.

I have a Corny Keg set up for CO2 right now and have never done a notro set up. Any ideas what I need?


Nitro tank (is it 25% co2, 75% nitro)

Nitro tap spigot (is this really necessary?)

Different regulator (can I just connect my CO2 regulator to the nitro tank?)

Once its kegged do I just hook it up the the norto tank and let it sit under pressure for a few weeks?)

What is the appropriate pressue?


Basically you can see I need a nitro for dummies lesson here for any who have had success with it...

Nitro tank (is it 25% co2, 75% nitro) Yes and yes

Nitro tap spigot (is this really necessary?) yes (stout faucet)
Different regulator (can I just connect my CO2 regulator to the nitro tank?) yes a nitro regulator is a female connection
Once its kegged do I just hook it up the the norto tank and let it sit under pressure for a few weeks?) there are a couple ways to do it, This way, natural carbing etc.
What is the appropriate pressue? I set mine a roughly 8 psi otherwis it is to foamy

Hope i helped
 
Yes very much thank you. On a side note if I did want to force carbonate it to have it ready sooner would I just up the nitro pressure and shake it like you do with regular co2?
