Keg style beer in bottles, can it be done?

[Scotty]

I have a York Brewery, Yorkshire Terrier kit that I will be starting in a couple of days.

Now, I like my ales smooth (is it called draught?! or as I like to call it, not fizzy!) but I am bit sceptical about using my keg due to repeated failures.

My question is...

If I am to bottle the brew, can I replicate the same smoothness in bottles?

Smooth (like John Smiths Smooth) is done by dispensing using a mixture of nitrogen and carbon dioxide. Unless you have a giant bottling megafactory and widgets etc it's probably hard to do that in a bottle. You can do it in a keg though (well cornies anyway).

But that's a real ale and not keg beer so in fact you will be trying to make something different to what the brewery intended.

As Steve says the creamflow effect with Smith's etc. is all achieved by the method of dispensing at the pump.
