<I cross-posted this on the AHA forums so apologies if it's a duplicate for you.>
An online discussion kicked up over the weekend among some guys in my homebrew club. Myself and one other recently acquired or were gifted nitrogen canisters and / or a nitrogen regulator to serve our English ales and stouts. Our local welding supply company -- where we all get our CO2 canisters swapped -- has 75/25 beer gas but only in CO2 canisters. We may be about to set up a pop-up eBay shop to unload our brand-new items, but I digress.

- Is that typical (vs having beer gas mix in nitro cylinders?) or just a quirk of our local shop?
- A side conversation popped up about 100% nitro. One person who owns a homebrew supply shop says he stocks 100% nitro but only folks using it for cold brew coffee buy it from him. Why wouldn't you use 100% nitro for beer?
