Title: Nitrogen into cornies?
Post by: bigvalen on January 02, 2017, 12:10:05 AM

I'm happy with my CO2 setup, but would like to try a nitro stout in one of my kegs. Is there an AJ Edge like solution for N2, or CO2/N2 mixes? A friend offered me an empty mixed-gas cylinder, but I suspect it may have previously been owned by a brewery or similar, so likely wouldn't be refilled by anyone reputable.

Not really, in my experience the best place is adverts or done deal

The mixed gas bottles are now marked AFAIK. I had 10 old ones and after I got 3 filled I offered the others free on here with no takers as they were not marked so they went to the recycle center. :(

You can only use them to serve from as if you try to use them for carbing the nitro wont nitro the beer ???
