Has anyone bottled from a keg carbonated with N2O/CO2?

Post by Jim my » Fri Feb 19, 2016 7:15 pm

I would like to make a Guinness clone and bottle from a corny using a beer gun. I'd be interested to hear if anyone has successfully bottled beer from a keg which has been conditioned with a nitrogen and carbon dioxide mix? I just wondered if excessive foaming would be a problem?
The lowest temp I can get my beer fridge down to is 3C.

I think the beer is only carbonated with CO2. The nitrogen is only present when serving. However, I could well be wrong.

Do they really use nitrous oxide to serve beer? I assumed that they used plain old nitrogen.

Sorry, my mistake. Should say N2.

I was hoping you could use Nitrous, as I can buy little bulbs of that. I've got one of those tap-a-draft things, and was hoping to add some nitro creaminess to my smoked porter.
