  • Homebrew stouts

    Just curios about the carbing process for stouts at home. Does it work like any other beer, or is there a way to use nitrogen for that really creamy head?

    You won't be able to get that creamy head without dedicated kegging equipment, a stout tap and 60/40 gas. Otherwise you can carb normally, it will still have a great head just not that super fine bubbles you are used to in a Guinness
    Primary: APA
    Bottled: Quad, tripel, K@K red ale
    Keg 1: Weiss. 2: Weiss. Keg 3: Air. Keg 4: Air
    Next up: world domination

      Or you can buy a canning line and do the widget thing, like Guinness.

      Or you can make a stout float. That gives a great, creamy head! It tastes AWESOME!

      Otherwise, as DieBaas said, for the proper Guinness-like head, you will need toys. The gas is called SureMix and you can rent the kegs from Afrox and migas/mygas (can't remember). Note the "Rent", which usually makes it to expensive for occasional use.

        Bit of a pitty.
        Would be really cool to have a sodastream like device with SureMix... Just a better seal.

          tip of the day: trying to carb beer with a sodastream is not as cool as you might think!

            I know... Personal experience. Not a long story, but the cleaning was.
