BAR HELP
In this section we will provide all the necessary information you may need to help you understand your bar and our products!
WHAT GAS DO I NEED?
This is one of the most common questions we get asked! We stock 3 types of beer and drinks gas.
Our CO2 mix is used for your soft drinks post mix, alongside certain lagers such as Peroni and San Miguel. This mix is either in a black bottle or a grey bottle with a purple handle.
70/30 is used for Guinness, Ales and Casks. The gas is designed to have a lower CO2 composition and generates the smoothness you want in your Ales and Stouts! This mix has a green tag or green tape on the bottle handle.
60/40 is used for majority of lager and ciders, due to its higher C02 percentage, giving you the crisp and refreshing fizz you want from your beverages! Brands such as Singha, Moretti and Bear Island ECPA use this mix! This mix has a white tag or white tape on the bottle handle.
WHAT COUPLINGS ARE THERE? AND WHAT KEGS DO THEY GO ON?
