  • Excuse the quality, It was dark. The kitchens dark etc etc . But sure look if someone else gets value out of the experience so be it. Plenty of other stuff to waste ones times on ...

    Great idea! I might try this with Kilkenny Irish Red Ale as their cans have the same Nitro widget activation mechanic. Always found the general widget cans to be really fidgety and to be not of a very good consistency. Some very good tips for cleaning the pint glass. Thanks for the video - Sláinte!

    The quailty of the cans is making a huge difference. I bought three slabs of the big cans at christmas first was amazing second was very very hit and miss third so far is bit better. All done same method not to cold or to warm either. Guinness via can is very tempermental in general.

      I found tesco changed their cans. I'm thinking some of the slabs are different factory I had one slab which was great and one not good. Checked the can top and they had completely different pull rings and design on top. Might have been for UK Market theres some pasteurisation that may be done for different markets.

    I heard the nitrosurge cans will not be available in the US. I bought a nitrosurger and a believer in the nitrosurge with regular Guinness cans. The pin prick works perfect. Just take time but well worth it. The frothy head is a little over 1 inch thick and if done correctly no bubbles on the head. I shit you not gentlemen.
