Beer Gas Cartridges, Non-threaded, 21ml - 10 pcs

Beer Gas cartridges, non-threaded, 21 ml – 10 pcs for creamy stout and porter

Each cartridge contains 21 ml of mixed gas, 70% nitrogen (N2) and 30% CO2, perfect for a cascading pour of rich, creamy stouts and porters with a wonderful mouthfeel. The cartridges are used with a dedicated beer gas regulator, which handles higher pressure than a standard CO2 regulator. The gas is food safe and TÜV-certified. One box contains 10 cartridges.

How to use Beer Gas for dispensing

1. Carbonate the beer as usual with CO2 to the desired level. A normal range for nitro stouts is 1.2–1.7 volumes of CO2, i.e. low carbonation.
2. Disconnect the CO2 and fit the mini regulator with a 21 ml beer gas cartridge. Pour the beer using a stout faucet or a faucet with a stout spout.
3. Adjust the pressure until you get the creamy result you want.
4. Fill the glass about 75% (it will be mostly foam). Let the foam settle for 1–2 minutes, then partially open the tap to slowly top off the glass.

The right pressure

You may need quite high pressure to push the beer through a creamer or restrictor disc to get the desired effect. With the beer gas regulator, made specifically for this mixed gas, you can dispense at 2–3 bar. We recommend starting at about 1 bar (15 psi) and adjusting up or down from there, depending on the faucet and how the creamer behaves. Guinness, for example, is poured at 2–2.4 bar.

Frequently asked questions about Beer Gas cartridges

Why do I need a dedicated regulator?

Nitro stout is often dispensed at higher pressure than regular beer. The beer gas regulator is made for the mixed gas and can deliver 2–3 bar, more than a standard CO2 regulator.

What pressure should I use?

Start at about 1 bar and adjust up or down depending on how the faucet and creamer behave. Guinness is poured at 2–2.4 bar.

How much should the beer be carbonated?

Nitro stout is carbonated low, typically 1.2–1.7 volumes of CO2. Carbonate with CO2 first, then switch to beer gas for dispensing.

Which faucet do I need?

Use a stout faucet or a faucet with a stout spout fitted with a creamer or restrictor disc. That is what creates the creamy head.
