So trying to figure out the economics of using n2 vs co2 for pushing beer from ferms to brites, and possibly using n2 for rousing hops.
But they seemed to be quoted in lbs for co2 and cuft for n2. Anybody able to show me the conversion steps?
And in a specific example- Our beverage folks quote co2 at $45 for 20#, and $61 for 50#. However they also quote the n2 in 20 and 50# tanks. Which is odd, no? Its $57 and $100.
We’re in the process of getting a bulk 750# tank for co2, but the people’s republic of San Francisco is making us do all kinds of ridiculous drawings and permit BS so eventually those will come down alot.
But we also want to use n2 for the hop rousing to limit aroma blowoff, etc. So need to know how to crunch these numbers.
