In order to serve the perfect pint, draught beer should be dispensed with a customized gas blend determined by the type of beer and the system your establishment has installed.
High-pressure systems require a precise blend of gases at the proper gas pressure to achieve perfect carbonation at the tap. Ales and lagers dispensed from a high-pressure, long-draw system utilize a gas blend of 60-70% CO2 / 30-40% N2 produced by the XactN2 draught beer-grade nitrogen generator. Nitrogenated beers, such as stouts, utilize a gas blend of 25% CO2 / 75% N2 produced by the XactN2 draught beer-grade nitrogen generator. Fountain soft drinks require 100% XactCO2. The XactMix beverage control system automatically blends and dispenses the precise amounts of beverage-grade carbon dioxide and draught-beer-grade nitrogen.
Ales and lagers dispensed from a low-pressure, short-draw system utilize a custom gas blend of 80% CO2 / 20% N2 produced by the XactN2 draught beer-grade nitrogen generator. Nitrogenated beers, such as stouts, dispensed from a low-pressure, short-draw system utilize a gas blend of 25% CO2 / 75% N2 produced by the XactN2 draught beer-grade nitrogen generator. The XactMix beverage control system automatically blends and dispenses the precise amounts of beverage-grade carbon dioxide and draught beer-grade nitrogen.
