Serving Stout
Now that I've got my small keezer going, it's time to see what kind of trouble I can get myself into. With that being said, I have a question for you all.
For those who are serving stouts, how are you guys serving? Through a stout faucet? On beer-gas? Is that the only way of doing it "properly"?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Serving Stout
I have a stout faucet and have removed the restricted plate to serve on C02. It works good but Honestly I would rather have another perlick instead.
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Re: Serving Stout
I serve my stout with Co2 with a perlick. Not proper, but I enjoy it.

Re: Serving Stout
Does anyone on here have a beer gas set up for nitrogen stouts? I have never even seen it advertised anywhere.

Re: Serving Stout
I serve with a stout tap and CO2 with the restricter plate at ~8-10psi, I tried the beer gas N/CO2 mix and it made no difference in my set-up (~3ft of gas line) besides having to serve at a higher pressure and costing more.
