Looking to do this in 04, anyone tell me about the mix gas they use (if any)? Having a hard time finding the 23% O2, 77% N mix here locally. What kind of luck with straight Nitrogen?
I get this going and I'll never leave the house........

That gas my friend is all around us... it is called air. Well it is close... so let's call it near-air.

Around here, the same people who distribute Guinness could/would set me up with mixed gas. If I wanted to have Guinness on tap at home.
Go to the nearest Airgas facility & tell them you need bevgas, it's a ni/co2 blend at 75/25.
What you're describing is air.
I'm guessing you mean a CO2/N mix. O2 isn't used to push beer, unless I suppose you wanted a big fire risk. I don't recall the exact proportions of the mixed beverage gas. Check with your local Guinness distributor; they should be able to point you to a local outfit that sells cannisters of the mixed gas.

If you use straight nitro, the beer will eventually go flat since you're not replacing the CO2.

Airgas can get me a 20lb cyl of Bevgas from Chicago's branch. I can't think I would use anything that big (5 lbs CO2 is what I have now) but it is the smallest they cab get me. Should last for quite a few kegs. Now I need an inert gas regulator!
PS Sorry about the O2 typo, meant CO2.
Can this beergas be used for american lagers as well? What would Bud Lite taste like with this nitrogen mix?
Thanks Mark
Lets Put it this way, Couldn't taste any worse?
