Smooth bitter kit

[postman]

Anyone know of a kit that produces a bitter similar to say a John Smiths or Tetley smooth & creamy?

Advice or suggestions appreciated.

Its the addition of mixed Co2/Nitrogen that gives the smooth mouth feel.

Can that be easily achieved at home?

If you kegging in budget kegs then I remember seeing nitrogen bulbs somewhere that you can inject. If your using cornie kegs then you can buy mixed gas bottles to force carbonate your beer. You will need a smooth flow nozzel for it to be like the pub.

Pubs use a 70/30 mix of nitrogen / co2 which would be quite hard to achieve with bulbs alone. I cant say I have tried it. I am sure someone with more knowledge will let you know.

Bottle conditioning only produces Co2 fizz so no help there
