Jeff, once again, if the temperaure in a system fluctuates and you attempt to use 100% CO2, the system will fail. If the fluctuation cannot be [u]
corrected</u>, sell "best practice" using a gas blender. Never compromise quality by increasing pressure to compensate for temperature fluctuations.
As to your comment of the 60% CO2 / 40% N being universally ideal.
These are your words. This is in contrast to my statement:

quote:The on-site 60% CO2 / 40% N mix is a ratio that will be much more successful in preserving gas content. Consumers will not be able to detect the changes in carbonation level if the gas content changes slightly for the higher carbonated products. At least not to the point where they deem it undesirable. It just is not practical to have multiple ratios (gas blenders) for the different gas contents between the ales and lagers.

I doubt a consumer will be able to detect carbonation changes. If they had, it was a probably at the result of some other condition with the system. Besides, if there truly was a flavor change detection due to an incorrect blend, as you stated and is pointed out in our workshops, we do provide custom blends.
