Special Tank for Nitro Mix?

[hbhudy]

Do I need a special tanks and/or regulator for a nitros mix gas?

At least around me, beer gas is an exchange only (they won’t fill your tank). The tank they use is a nitrogen tank (at least same valve). With that in mind, a different regulator is in order.

You need a nitrogen regulator. Nitrogen is at a higher pressure than CO2 in the tank. They also have different fittings to keep from accidentally putting a CO2 reg on a nitrogen tank.

Yup. Well worth the extra cost imo. I love stouts on gas blend.

Thanks folks!! This is the information I was needing

Most places I’ve seen use Nitrogen tanks for a mixed gas. You can, however, use a CO2 regulator with a nitrogen tank by using an adapter. I had a few extra CO2 regulators and I use one with my straight nitrogen (coffee) set up and the adapter. A full tank of nitrogen is around 2200psi and most CO2 regs max out at 2000psi on the tank side, so the gauge will be pinned at first until the tank drops below 2000psi.

I would say mixed gas tanks with cga580 valves are pretty much standard for nitrogen or beer gas...
