Even though you are using a nitrogen cylinder, be certain to use the right gas mix of 25% CO2 / 75% nitrogen for your Guinness.

Great..thanks.

One more question. Does Guinness come in 1/2 kegs only or can you get it in 1/4's as well?

Guinness is only available in 1/2s, in fact, European 1/2s are only 13.2 gal. compared to American 1/2s that are 15.5 gal.
