Nitro Cider

[MikeAdz]

Hi,

Does anyone know if I can use Beer Gas (75% Nitro, 25 CO2) to dispense cider? How does it come out?

anyone?

Give them a chance it's not the kind of question asked every day.

 

[MikeAdz]

haha I am guessing no one has tried

I have moved this to the beer equipment forum the beer brewers may be able to help.

Have never tried it my guess is if you serve it at normal pressure with a normal tap it will just go a bit flat due to the lack of co2 if yi serve it at high pressure with a guiness type tap it may get a bit of the guiness like creaminess but it might not as cider is probably to thin to hold the bubbles. Hopefully someone will be able to confirm or deny as I don't really know.

The only thing I can find about it is this

Seems to have turned out ok.

Also, read a post on Reddit where someone used Nitro in a strawberry cider, which apparently was good too.

Good luck with it and let us know if it turns out ok

Will be absolutely fine to dispense, won't be great for carbonation though.

Creamflow cider sounds rank, I’m pretty sure there is agood reason why they’re are no commercial examples.

You shouldn't really get the cream flow without the stout tap/restrictorplate.

Any nitro in the cider should dissipate within seconds of pouring.

Sure it's not optimal hence why there are no commercial examples, should still work and be an effective pour though.

But it will be flat unless pre carbed or at extreme pressure. And even if it is used purely for dispensing it will get flatter every time you pull a pint off.
