    Default 100% Nitrogen for Stout

    Currently I have a kegerator running 5 kegs of beer on Co2. I also have a WineKeeper (wine on tap) which uses Nitrogen to push the wine. I want to put a nitro tap on my system but don't want to add another tank of gas to my system so as I see it my options are the push the nitro beer with 100% Nitrogen. I can't use the 75/25 mix as I don't want carbonated wine. Any input would be appreciated.

    Mike

    You need a gas mix for a nitrogenated stout. You need a mixed gas tank, or your beer will end up completely flat, like wine. You could just pick a stout that uses co2, isntead (most of them).

    Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.
    Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery
    and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might
    be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself,
    "It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than
    be selfish and worry about my liver."
