Yeah, I heard the thing about longer beer lines for foaming reasons. I used to have loads of issues. Now I use about a meter of 3/16" on all my taps at about 15 PSI and get perfect pours. I use a nitro/CO2 mix on all my beers and use a perforated plate in my tap if I want it served Nitro style.

@spagnot 18 дней назад

Fun fact: you can nitrogenate beer using co2 only. When you add the co2, do not purge the air out as that leaves naturally occurring nitrogen from the atmosphere on top of the beer which makes it nitrogenated. Oxygenating the beer could be an adverse side effect however but then just drink the beer quick.

Check out duotight fittings for your kegs. GAME. CHANGERS. Screw messing with barbs and trying to pull off hoses etc. Just push and forget.

@Leo99929 3 года назад

That lid gas stone thing is for quick carbonation. The small bubbles absorb faster. They also create a load of foam in your keg. It's said that the chemicals that make foam only do it once, so foaming in your keg means less stable foaming in your glass. It will absorb without this stone, it'll just take longer, like set and forget method CO2.

@caseymckinley1253 3 года назад

Thanks! I needed this! I was thinking that an inline wouldn't really have the same effect anyway because it has to be in the beer not part of the gas line. Right?

@Leo99929 3 года назад

@@caseymckinley1253 I don't know what you mean, but I use the exact same set up for Nitro and CO2. I just swap the gas bottle over (with the adapter required for a CO2 regulator), increase the pressure to account for partial pressures, and put a perforated disk in the tap/faucet. Perfect Guiness style nitro pour with that thick creamy head.

@kkobwatchin Месяц назад

A nice low-key overview. Thanks. You may have answered my one concern/thought at the end with your catch: THE LUBE. Is that for every connection including the screw-thread ones and the retracting-connector ones? I was thinking with the screw-thread ones especially the ones that would be maintained for a week or more could use Teflon tape which is food safe. Any thoughts?

@chilecayenne Год назад

Interesting video and thank you.... ONE question that still remains for me..what is the difference between pulling the tap forward and pushing it backwards? In the video, you never explained what each action does and what the difference is when pouring? Thank you in advance, CC

Those metal keg connects look niiice, might have to check those out if they are working well.

For the low low price of $25, you too can try a pair! They're expensive, but so is a tank of leaked gas, so i'd say probably worth it.

@insaneshadow1 10 месяцев назад

you can mix it with blenders, but they are expensive to purchase

@briandempsey9367 3 года назад

The times 4 is because you have 25% co2 in the tank. Having a carb stone inside the keg also helps. Leave it set for a few days to achieve good results.

I cant find beer gas tank in my country all i can find is pure N2 tank will it work? what if i mix them in the keg co2 and N2?

Love your channel! What psi do you set your reg at for nitro, or does it depend on beer? Also - just a helpful tip, please don't use pipe pilers on brass fittings it damnages it. Use a cressent wrench, it fits all of them lol. Thanks guys. Hope to meet you one day if our world go back to normal...

Why did the beer gas tank have male threads on the valve? Every one I have ever seen has the female connection on the tank valve. I used a CO2 regulator rated at 2600 PSI and bought an adapter to use it.

@AlexMoss002 3 года назад

Would the diffusion stone work for oxygenating big beers that shaking can’t get the right ppm for? Wondering out to connect the ball lock fitting to a cheap regulator to a cheap oxygen tank...

@fivefingerfullprice3403 3 года назад

Yes

@TheOneRichy 3 года назад

Not sure if it was mentioned but isn't it the case that the Nitro is also generally set at a much higher PSI than CO2 - something like 40+PSI so that it get's properly infused?

@ClawhammerSupply 3 года назад

Yes, 30-35 psi!

@bbqribz570 3 года назад

I was always told that you can't use a c02 regulator on a nitro tank even if the connection is for c02. the c02 reg won't display the correct pressures and they're not built to withstand the higher pressure either.

@ClawhammerSupply 3 года назад

Hmmm... Yes, the pressure is different but not that far off. I regularly set my co2 tank above nitro serving pressure to quick carb. I also read an article in craft beer and brewing that seemed to suggest that you could use co2 regulator for nitro. Buuuut, never tried it, so don't quote me!

@isayovids 2 года назад

You could use a nitro regulator for co2 with the adapter, not the other way around, carful with high pressures

What % of Nitrogen do you get ? I'm surprising my dad with a Nitrogen setup for his kegerator for his vday and I dont know anything about the gas part other than my dad wanting it for his homebrew

@Leo99929 3 года назад

Nitrogen cylinders are higher pressure than CO2, and the regulators are designed to deal with that pressure. You can use a Nitro regulator on CO2 with an adapter. But you shouldn't use a CO2 regulator on Nitro.

@timquain5341 2 года назад

So do you still need to carbonate the beer prior to doing this nitro set up? Before you answer, know that I only ever brew into bottles and I add sugar drops to carbonate. So my knowledge of carbonation in a keg is non-existent. I actually don't know how you carbonate a keg in the usual way, so hopefully this isn't painfully obvious.

@beatusboss 3 года назад

Why do you need the different taps for co2 vs nitro? Is it just because you can push it backwards and "top up" the glass? Also does this setup work for other nitro beverages like coffee?

@iheartihop 3 года назад

Stout (nitro) faucets also have a little jet (restrictor) disk (looks like a shirt button) that slows the flow and agitates the beer as it passes through, creating the cascading head. If you have taps like Intertap that allow interchanging parts, you can also get a stout faucet attachment for cheaper that mimics a stout faucet. It includes the jet disk, but does not allow the same handle motion as an actual stout faucet. It also may be more prone to some leakage.

@marckost2000 3 года назад

It creates turbulence inside of it, helps to create more foam

@aaronwoloszyn3280 3 года назад

Do you need that special lid with the carbonating stone to use beer gas or can you run the gas the same way co2 is hooked up to a keg? Also do you lightly carbonate the beer before hooking up beer gas?

I wish someone would have answered this, lol. I need to know the same.

@@caseymckinley1253 do it the way Kyle is doing it. It's working great for me and don't carbonate your beer just hook up the beer gas and turn your pressure up 2 lb every 5 minutes until you get around 28 or 30 PSI

@b.e.d.brewing3909 3 года назад

Great video; interesting information and idea ... I haven’t work with nitrogen since it doesn’t absorb into the beer as well, do you find the beer is flat (or is it getting the CO2 absorbed)? I was thinking about giving it a try, how do you like the regulator (It looks like the elite series from Kegco)?

@briandempsey9367 3 года назад

Using the Carbonation chart from Brewing Quality Beers by Byron Burch At a temperature of 43 degrees, 7 psi CO2 will result in 1.9 volumes, therefore: 7 psi CO2 X 4 = 28 psi of Beer Gas or about 30 PSI!

@karlesanford 2 года назад

Anyone else audibly gasp when he pulled out those channel locks?

@stephenjebb5576 2 года назад

Bit over complicated. Just force carb to 1.0 vols of co2 with co2 then use beer gas to serve. Use secondary regs. A beer gas bottle has 3000psi in it. If the reg fails....

My friend. I make beer in. Simple equipment and dry dinar grass, but without foam What is the secret of foam? Please, your friend from Syria answered me

@TehRealCanadarocker 3 года назад

Foam or "head" is heavily influenced by both carbonation and your ingredients. Very roughly more protein rich ingredients will influence your foam, wheat is often used to help boost head. I'm not familiar with dinar grass but I'm guessing it is your primary problem as it likely doesn't have a significant amount of protein compared to barley or wheat which is commonly used in Western brewing. I'm guessing western ingredients are not common there so you can try experimenting with your carbonation level to boost your head, so I wish you luck.

@jessesven2262 Год назад

You can’t use the carb stone to serve because it releases the co2 too slow. Unless you only drink 2 beers in a sitting but who tf doing that?

@ClawhammerSupply 3 года назад

This guy's a moron. He forgot that you're not supposed to touch the diffusion stone with your fingers because oil from your hands can clog the pores. You are supposed to boil after use, which would probably release the oil... So, whatever! Amirite!? No? Ok, then don't touch.
