Default Use of Nitrogen
I have a Micro Matic regulator # 3499 that needs the diaphragm replaced - I think that's all that's wrong with it. Where/how can I acquire parts. Secondly, I want to pressurize kegged home-brewed wine with Nitrogen and have found a source. Can a 3499 be used for Nitrogen, and if so, how can I acquire the proper nipple for connection to the tank (or an adapter that will accomplish this)?

Finally, do you have any specific advice for establishing such a system - I assume the standard beer connections and equipment will be appropriate? I'm using pin-lock devices. Is there anything I should be concerned about with regard to the relative molecule sizes of N2 and CO2?

Brian

Your regulator parts should be accessible on the Micro Matic web site. Before you check, be sure that the fitting on the regulator will fit your "source" cylinder. Need to know what tank you have to determine fittings. Most standard beer fittings are plated brass. Use either stainless or plastic specified for wine use. Normally you would use nitrogen to dispense wine. CO2 will carbonate the wine.
