MaxDog nitro brewing, where to source W.BritishColumbia

[Mitch3ll]

Hi Friends.

New member and first post. I struggle with reading, writing and concentration as my brain hurts and my vision not so good (hard to read with double vision and no corrective lenses). So I've tried to read the rules as best I can and searched best I can but man o man is it exhausting and overwhelming for someone like me.

But I live in Western Canada, big city on the coast of British Columbia to be exact and I am inspired by the MaxDog nitro brewing setup. Lots of kits and whatnot out there to make all sorts of great stuff with the gas, yet I am unsure on where do people like me acquire the gas for such home brew projects ? In the states and elsewhere it all seems really easy, maybe it's easy here too but I'm just missing it.

Any suggestions for where to get my kit started and best size bottle and regulator that is available in my region would be appreciated. I tried looking up regulators but my search just shows me CO2 stuff and it's again, with my learning disabilities it's a massive struggle to wade through this stuff.

Please keep it simple as too much is overwhelming. I' really enjoy gin and I've heard that a nitro infused Gin is super smooth and really brings out the botanical flavours and hopefully I can try it out before I'm homeless once again this Oct.

Thanks.

Look at the megathread concerning this method

Exit bag and inert gas megathread

Exit Bag and Inert Gas Basics —A very, very long post, I know, but I feel like I've fielded a lot of questions about this, so I figured I'd spell out everything I know. Others on the forum should please add to this thread whatever reliable technical information they feel is appropriate for...

So I got my nitrogen bottle the other day. It's a bit overkill at 90cf, but hey it's the best I could get with the limited knowledge I have. At least I shouldn't run out mid way. LOL. I ordered some click style regulators from Al I baba, but never ordered from their site before so I have no idea if they'll come in time or work well. Here goes I guess.

Now I just gotta get myself a turkey bag and some tape and make a tidy little bag for me head.

Does anyone have a suggestion for another regulator if the ones I ordered don't show up. I read the megathread but I don't fully understand regulator talk and flow meters and the math involved in adjusting it so. Getting a click style regulator in Canada looks to me impossible unless you're actually in an industry that uses them, so my back up will have to be a regular style reg.
