Gas Supply

Hi All

quick question. i have set up an account with my local BOC outlet and it seems i now have a few optionsas to what gas i want.

as fas as i knew, i was going up to get a cylinder of CO2 for the yr and that would be that. Seems my options are either plain CO2 or:

SUREMIX 30

A 30% carbon dioxide / 70% nitrogen mixture widely used for dispensing a range of stouts and ales.

SUREMIX 50

A 50% carbon dioxide / 50% nitrogen mixture for dispensing ales and lagers.

SUREMIX 60

A 60% carbon dioxide / 40% nitrogen mixture used for dispensing highly carbonated lagers and ciders.

i will probably be dispensing mainly lagers and some ales so the 50/50 would prob be the best? has anyone used these or would co2 on its own do a decent job?

Great to have a range of gas available.....particularly the N mixes for stouts.
You will need a different regulator though for the mixed gas.

CO2 on it's own would be best for ales and lagers unless you happen to like that disgusting piss that masquerades as smoothflow beer.

thanks guys. Think il stick to the CO2 then in the meaintime and possibly experiment a bit later on.
