Proper Gas Ratio Mix for Draft Beer

The proper mix of CO2 and N2 for draft beer varies depending on the beer being served.  The standard CO2 / N2 blends are 60% / 40% for lagers and 25% / 75% for your Guinness and Boddington brews requiring less carbonation with a smoother taste and finish.

Anheuser Busch, the breweing company behind Budweiser, recommends that any high pressure system (greater than 15 psi) use a beer gas blend of 60% C02  and 40% N2 to prevent over-carbonation.  They also recommend using a keg box or blending box to combine the gases at fixed proportions and to reduce the risk of flat beer that may develop as time increases on the tap.
