probably a stupid question...
do nitro beers require/need changes to a particular recipe or do you just brew whatever recipe normally and it's just a function of how you keg and carbonate the beer once it's finished fermenting?
I've seen reference to "nitro recipes" but all I can see written anywhere is basically where you carb the keg with regular CO2 at a lower pressure and then switch to a higher pressure nitro mix when ready to tap and serve the keg. Is that basically it?
I get the fact that you need to calculate the volume/pressure of CO2 for your keg's temp and desired type beer. And then pick the correct nitro pressure to maintain and dispense the beer. But all that is post brewing/fermenting. Nothing to do with ingredients or how you mash, boil & ferment.
Is there really anything special to a "nitro recipe"? Or is that just a term people toss out there when they are talking about beers they like served on nitro?
