i bought a 2.6kg keg king co2 bottle from ebay, and on the label reads "food grade co2" to me this means 100% CO2...
recently i have been told by 2 different publicans that they mix with nitrogen, and the co2 they get is 55%co2 mixed in nitrogen, and depending on the popularity of the kegs, they can change to 40% for less popular kegs, up to 70% for faster moving kegs, or 100% in the post mix.
i've had massive over-carb problems with my kegerator in the past which im just starting to get on top of (maybe), and now wondering if this could have made my problems worse, being that i only pour 2-4 beers a day mixing 100% co2.
does this relate to home brew at all? would a lower ratio of co2 to nitrogen carbonate beer more slowly? is it readily available in different mixtures?
does my rambling even make sense?
cheers joel
