First of all, I would like to apologize if this topic has been discussed before. I tried to search it but with no luck.
So here is what I have in mind. Since beergas is quite expensive, I was thinking to carbonate the stout in a keg with regular CO2 gas until it reach the desire CO2 volume at serving temp.
Then purge the CO2 headspace in the keg and connect to Nitrogen gas only at 30psi for serving.
Will this work ?
My doubt is as the keg get emptied, CO2 from the beer will escape to the keg headspace. But on the other hand, the headspace is filled with N2 so I think there is no room for CO2 to escape.
What do you think ? Anyone has tried this method before ?
Links to previous same discussion is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
