We tried the SAME BEER on Nitro and CO2 - What's the Difference?

  • Nitrogenated beer (or nitro beer) Vs Carbonated beer (or CO2 beer): Is nitro beer better than carbonated beer? Or does the carbonation mouthfeel and bite beat the smooth nitro cascade? In order to find out, we home brew a split batch of the same black lager beer and taste them side by side. Also in this video is the history of nitro beer. Spoilder: Guinness played a big role in making nitro beer available to everyone.

    Maybe the flavor difference is that C02 creates acid and N doesn't. Acid enhances flavor or at least, changes it.

      @@ClawhammerSupply Michael Edward ash lived till 2016 and was honoured by the company a month before his death. Not all Guinness is nitro. Co2 Guinness is still available even in imperial pint bottles. Until the late 1980’s it was the only way to have Guinness at home. Even then many drinkers didn’t like the nitro Guinness my great grandfather included and so co2 bottles half and full pint were sold in a lot of pubs until the 1990’s/2000’s usually off the shelf until when the older men who drank co2 Guinness were dying off.

    Well done! I'm not a nitro fan, but honestly, a very dark and very heavy (usually very high abv) seems to benefit from Nitro, making them easier on the palate, while low abv and almost all lighter beers, in my opinion, taste really weird to me with nitro. Sam Adams, a few years ago, was throwing all kinds of light beers on Nitro commercially, and I thought they all tasted weird (light, low in flavor, and frothy).

    Wow, those day-drinking beer analysts must have pushed your production budget. 🤣
    It's so true what you say about Nitro only suiting certain styles, I guess more malt-driven ones would do best.
    I only use Nitro for Irish-style stouts and reds so don't really know.
    Nice video that popped up in my recommended list. 👍

    I’ve had beer gas for about 6 months. Barely put it to use 2 days ago. Made a raspberry cream ale with some vanilla beans added. Was going for a raspberry creamsicle vibe. Bringing back childhood memories but raspberry instead of orange.

    It'd be cool to see a comparison of nitro vs co2 vs co2 through a nitro tap.
    I don't have a nitro setup but I have a stout spout that I've been trying out and the perforated plate in the spout seems to cause smaller CO2 bubbles to form giving the beer a bit of a cascading effect as well as a creamier feel. It's not a full on nitro feel but it's somewhere between nitro and co2 so I think it might be worth checking out. (also, it's a cheap solution to get close to nitro for those that can't really justify getting a nitro setup).

      Since you already have the faucet just get a bottle of beer gas and you're all set.

      Getting a bottle of beer gas is very expensive here and is very hard to get your hands on and as such is not a viable option for me.

    Sounds like all of the differences mentioned are direct effects of carbonic acid - crisp & bitter because the beer is more acidic. More aromatic might be because of the larger bubbles and more gas that was actually absorbed into the beer being released. I don't think the nitro actually gets absorbed.

    I take handfuls of leaves and grass and toss that in my fermenters... some of the nitrogen in the plant is in the form of n02... ie laughing gas... and it feels like every beer is a few whippits worth of nitrous. Makes you super super tingly and buzzy all over and also makes everything hilarious...

    • @ausfoodgarden

      Are you sure those are hops you're throwing into your wort? 🤣
      Firstly NO2 is nitrogen dioxide, N2O is what's known as laughing gas or nitrous oxide or Fast and Furious go juice (NOS)

    So in simplistic terms a flatter beer is more palatable at this logic?? When i crack a beer when 1/3 to 1/4 of the beer is left. It is not very carbonated id sooner drink my own piss then finish it. That is not a exaggeration either.
