Kegging and Bottling / Re: Nitrogen for dispensing

Do you use a CO2 tank for mixing? and at what ratio? I've seen past posts that say it's primarily used for stouts such as Guinness style. But others have said it works for all styles. I mostly brew ales and IPAs. and my biggest issue is pushing the beer through 20 ft of line...

Kegging and Bottling / Nitrogen for dispensing

« on: February 22, 2013, 03:29:08 pm »

Hi,
I'm looking for advice on using nitrogen for dispensing my homebrew. I have a 2 corny keg system in a beer fridge in my basement and my 2 taps up one level in the kitchen. A rise of approx 10 ft. and 1/4" ID beer lines of approx 20'. Currently I'm using only CO2 and it seems to be over carbonating the beer as it is dispensing very foamy. My question is, how does a nitrogen tank integrate into what i currently have and can it be done for a reasonable price? Can the same regulator be used as with CO2? Beer is being delivered at 40*.

Thanks,
