Yeah that must be the famous 'beer gas' you were mentioning Kelsey @Otto Von Blotto? @Cosmo2450 was using nitro pure - I believe Cosmo advises so due to the C02 mix not being good for the chilled coffee thing. So do you purchase the 'beer gas' in a specific cylinder then for your festival of cascading bubble stout Hoppy?

Hoppy81 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I carbonate with C02 as per normal and serve with the Nitro/C02 mix at roughly 30psi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Nitro-Carb mix readily available... have only seen the nitro pure in one HB shop and the cylinder was prolly smaller than a Soda Stream refill bottle. But I do live in Booneyville and don't get to spend a swag of time in festive HB and Beer Gas shops : ( Probably be more cost effective the way you are doing it Hoppy?

The Captain!! Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 One of @Norris! beers. The bridge road stubby. Aroma: Melon, strawberry, citrus, tomato leaf Flavour: Gauva paw paw kiwi fruit pepper Light, good carb, slight sweetness perfect bittered Thought I took a picture but hey, whoopsy daisy. Norris, I’d be a very happy man if I got that at a brewery. I love that the aroma and taste made my mind think. finished dry and that’s what I like. Great beer mate. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly appreciate the feedback it has made my day. That was the brew with the horrible name and a little Nelson sauvin tossed in at flameout. I actually just finished the keg yesterday and while I could pick up the NS coming through kind of strongly I liked it a lot. It was extract to go along with the AG hazy pale you got. I liked the hazy better and felt that this brew was a good quick keg filler, not my best work but definitely drinkable. I would increase the dry hop if I did it again. The yeast might of provided some flavours also. Your descriptions are on point. Now you see why I am like "I think it is citrusy with a tinge of brackleseed or something?" Tomato leaf... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSands Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 No brew day is complete without a brew day bitter! This is my "Rudstickle Bitter" - a fairly standard English bitter using NZ hops Dr Rudi and Sticklebract. Very happy with this one though it did end up darker than Beersmith led me to believe. Next time I do it I'll probably drop the 50g roasted barley or perhaps swap it out for a light choc, carafa I or whatever... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB, i worked for Air Liquide in the 90,s and both them & BOC make a 70/30 Stout Mix Gas Cylinder, not sure it’s exact name these days but there is such an animal, as we used to adjust filling lines to suit a particular mix, cheers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Red - good stuff - think you might have said that was at the then new Casino in town (Bris Vegas)? Right - Beer Gas I think it is called - and @Hoppy81 has got hold of it via BOC... not cheap but leads to a great result. What I am wondering... is whether I can brew my AG Stout - Carb it with C02 - and then on the keg-pour, do it with pure Nitrogen to deliver the festive creamy Guinness-like cascading bubble result? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzza Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Had a few days off the juice and now it is time to sup upon the Pale Mozzie! Brewed in December. IPA AG on rainwater with local Voyager Veloria Schooner Malt with a bit of Wheat for head retention and creamy top and rocking in at just over 7%ABV using US05. Hoppage 34 g Spalt at 60; 40g Mosaic at 15; 40g Galaxy Whirlpool Steep; Late Hop 22g Cascade and 57g Mozzie (Mosaic)… YEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAA this brew has got CLOUT! Has cleared up nicely in the keg over the last week and is drinking very nicely. Cheers Brewers! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB, in order to add Nitrogen to the CO2 you would need a mixer ( which mixes the two gases together, then gasses up the keg )., or go the Stout Mix Cylinder from BOC, I don’t drink Stout but I would go the Cylinder route as it would be much more cost effective. When it’s in a mixture it can easily push the liquid, whereas if you had CO2 in there first the N2 wouldn’t mix with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I had a small keg say 10L - and wanted to gas it with Nitro to try the fancy cascading bubbles - maybe just gas it first up with Nitro? And pour with nitro?

I would say so, but I’ve never hooked up any Stout to run on pure N2 ? Nitrogen is a slow moving gas when in a vapour form through Gas Lines, so it would pour very slowly I would assume. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not, think I have some haze issues) Granted I am at the very beginning of my brewing journey and therefore much less of a perfectionist than some, but sitting at my desk on a Friday waiting for drinking time that still looks like a bloody delicious beer to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
