Hobbybrew 60/40
You may have noticed my shoulder colour has changed. Hobbybrew are bringing their 60/40 cylinders inline with BS EN 1089-3 so you may receive a green or white shouldered cylinder for a little while. Don’t worry, it is still the exact same gas in the cylinder.
60/40 is well rounded and balanced product used frequently in hospitality – it is the preferred gas recommendation for many lager breweries – balanced mouthfeel.
Typically used for craft lagers, pale ales, ambers, easy drinking sessions and ciders.
Mouth feel: Balanced
Flow: Dynamic
Price per pint: 4p per pint

Why is gas required to pour the perfect pint?
Carbon Dioxide adds that refreshing fizz you enjoy on a summer’s day, where a higher Nitrogen content produces a higher quantity of smaller bubbles, producing a smooth and creamy mouthfeel.
Gas has a significant effect on the end product and enhances the overall experience you have when consuming a nice beer from your favourite brewers.
Do I need to refill at the same agent?
Hobbybrew gas cylinders can be refilled at any authorised agent, great if you're moving home!
