Cost of kegging

Kegland mark IV reg happy with a Beer gas mix. But you need someone who is putting beer gas in a normal CO2 cylinder for this. I'm not sure if beer gas comes in these normally , I think it's in a nitrogen type cylinder and that needs a different stem on the regulator or a different regulator.

You can get a kegland mk4 regulator with the correct fitting for mixed gas from BrewKegTap but they are sold out at the minute. I have 2 mk4's, one for CO2 and one for mixed, the only difference is the connection

What's the benefit of mixed gas with short beer lines? I thought it was so the beer wasn't over-carbonated when high pressures were needed for the long beer lines you have in pubs. Is there another reason?

Nitro beers, I have only ever used my mixed gas for a stout. I had drunk half of the keg with CO2 before getting the mixed gas and it did make a massive difference to it

Nitro beers,

Of course! Though I thought you just used 100% nitrogen for those...

I always thought it was a mix but have not really researched it wrong so would be happy to be corrected

Stout gas is 30 : 70 co2 : nitrogen whereas the mixed gas used for pushing berrs long distances is 60:40

Just had a look and I have 30:70

Hi, is anyone using a 60/40 gas mix? If so do you need a special regulator or will a normal Co2 regulator do?
And does anyone know of anywhere in or near south Cumbria where I can buy a 6kg bottle?
