Nitrogen?

How many of you use Nitrogen for stouts or porters?

 

I have some small 10g nitrogen cartridges and the mini carbonater that attaches to the keg post but haven't tried it yet.

 

I use nitrogen and I absolutley love it.  Makes porters and stouts super smooth and creamy.  Think frothed rather than carbonated.

 

Did you get a full tank of nitro carboy?

 

how much does a full tank run?

 

A 5lb CO2 tank is under $10 so I'd imagine it's close, I don't know where you get a tank other than a place like AirGas.

 

I just kegged a porter, and I was debating whether to get Nitrogen or not.  I decided to stick with CO2 for this one, but I may still go nitro in the future.  I would have to get a second regulator, though, which is a bit of a detractor.

 

Is nitrogen only used for porters and stouts?, when creamy was described it reminded be of Bodingtons cream ale.

 

I think you could use it on anything, but the traditional nitro beers are stouts.  I've heard of it being used in a blend with CO2 for IPA's lately.

 

What does nitrogen do that makes it appealing for stouts?  What is the difference between CO2?
