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

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

    I think Guinness only comes in the 1/2 bbl.

    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."

    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.
