I haven't tasted one yet that led me to believe that it added anything.

Not sure on that because of how little nitrogen actually dissolves into the beer. It could be the other factors that go into head retention at work: protein structure, hopping rate, glass cleanliness etc.The Mad Fermentationist (Mike)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07379932734747507258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-75412540673685092332015-02-17T12:22:32.818-05:002015-02-17T12:22:32.818-05:00Mike, just curious how long it took you to carbona...Mike, just curious how long it took you to carbonate using only the beergas. I've only done one beer on Nitro so far, and I initially carbed with CO2, then put it on beergas. I found that the head came out great, but didn't last as long as a typical Guinness head you'd get on tap that typically lasts for most of the glass. Wondering if carbing with beergas helps with thisBrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03981303044018382103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-87137352734619040162015-02-13T18:18:38.501-05:002015-02-13T18:18:38.501-05:00I'd just say aim for low carbonation, whatever...I'd just say aim for low carbonation, whatever your method.
