So I am trying to figure out if I just made a mistake
I purchased a N2 tank, regulator and stout faucet (from craigslist) for a decent price.
My plan was to carb my keg to 7psi and then serve with straight nitrogen set at say 30psi. I wanted to serve both stouts and dabble in other styles as well, particularly IPAs.
Now reading through threads am I able to do what I want or was I wrong in my assumptions? Will my CO2 fall out of suspension leaving flat beer?
I have a standard kegerator with two faucets. My plan was to have two cornys with two taps - a stout and another style. Inside would be a CO2 bottle and a N2 bottle. I planned to carb the keg with 7psi CO2 for a week, then switch to N2 to serve. Every other week I would connect the Co2 to top off for a day or so and then back to the N2.
I was planning to use a diffusing stone at the end of a length of tubing connected to the "gas in" tube. Not sure this helps but it was recommended.
Is this realistic? Is that plan doable or am I looking at a near impossible balancing act that would result in creamy foam?
Beer gas seems hard to find and expensive I would prefer to simply use the CO2 and N2 tanks I now have and a mixer is way out of the budget!
Finally, if doable how many cornys will a 20cuft n2 tank push?
Any thoughts on what you have done in this situation would be appreciated.
Thanks!
