old school pouring of German Pils
Recently I purchased a Bev Air direct draw cooler for home use and currently am enjoying Spaten Pils poured via CO2 with conventional beer faucet. Beer pours and tastes great!
However, I desire to pour a more traditional (as experienced in Germany, but seldom in US), creamy foam head (realizing pours may take 5-7 min). Everyone I talk to about this has a differing or conflicting answer...My questions:
What kind of faucet do I need? Will it work with one of my standard shanks, insofar as dimensions? I do not want to use a nitro-CO2 blend, can I continue to use straight CO2? At what new PSI setting?
Does anyone know what this traditional pilsner pouring process is termed in German? Is there info on where I could purchase the necessary equipment and reading material learning more about this process. Danke!
