GUINNESS NITRO SURGE CAP - *Done the Proper Way*

[@theeggster]

Recently fell in love with Guinness videos and recently got the surger and this is the best video ive seen in using it properly . Great video mate. You dont try and be overly funny and its very informative . Ive subcribed and looking forward to watching some more of your vids.

Haha good job my man. Just bought mine - I live abroad so its rare I find a great pint of Guinness til I travel back to the UK or (even better) Ireland. But this is revelation and the cans are only 75p more than normal can where I am, so feels like a no brainer. Cool vid, nice one!

[@denzil4273]

Cracking pint! What's the best way to get the glass clean?

[@thespencerarms2022]

Thank you for your great feedback. Since doing this I’ve managed to perfect the beer clean glass method now . If you look through my videos you will find my glass cleaning tips and now I can get the Guinness to completely coat the glass . I use Proton regenerate powder in a clean dishwasher with proper re sets the glasses , then from there on , hot salt water and salt in the glass with a baby bottle brush . Loads of rinsing and air dry only . The key is a brand new bucket and bottle brush with fine table salt . Hope this helps , all the best . Speno 😊

[@alestout5632]

Good video With the brewdog turn the can upside down once then pour straight into the glass but not at 45% just sling it in

[@thespencerarms2022]

Hi there . Thank you for watching and for your feedback. 😊Yes , since doing this video I’ve learnt about the brewdog pour . Been mentioned to me a few times , and i always appreciate the feedback. We’re always learning. Cheers 🍻 Speno 😊

[@Fromatic]

But doesnt step 3 of the instructions you showed on the can at 5:35, say to hold the can horizontal with the glass at 45 degrees until glass is 2/3 full, then at step 4 says to start to raising the can past horizontal while at the same time straightening the glass to keep the same angle between the can and glass?

[@thespencerarms2022]

It does indeed say that , but the inventor of the cap Steve Gilsenan who demonstrated his own product says to hold the can passed the horizontal. It is strange the can shows different, but holding the can horizontal doesn’t seem to produce the same results . Cheers for pointing this out to me . Speno 😊

[@Fromatic]

@thespencerarms2022 ah that's good to know, have been wondering why these videos say "do it properly" then seem to do it what I thought was wrong, that must be why! Cheers

It's unbelievable how many people are using this device wrongly by pressing the button for the second pour. The instructions state not to press for second pour and the guy who invented it says that as you pointed out.

Well represented. I love the Nitrosurge cans. The best pint of Guinness I can get outside of Ireland. In Staffordshire, no pub can produce a decent pint. These hit the spot. Struggling for a tulip glass though at the moment.

[@thespencerarms2022]

Thank you very much . Cheers 🍻😊

[@robhuanout5443]

got 3 guinness glasses, a new style and a slender new style that I nicked from pubs. My old style glass I found when leaving a mates flat, by the front door was a canvas bag full of pint glasses and when I had a rummage I found the guinness old style in amazing condition. As naughty as it sounds, just nick an new style glass from a pub. The pubs get the new style glasses for free as far as I'm aware.

[@thespencerarms2022]

Sounds like a great find in that bag . Cheers 🍻.

Did ever get the glasses cleaned to leave the lacing. If you did would love to know what you used etc as I’m really struggling with mine

[@thespencerarms2022]

Not managed it with the Guinness, but can do it with other beers . This Guinness is a tough one to get absolutely right. Think it needs a proper glass cleaner like in the pubs to break down the surface tension .

[@patrickyore]

The trick is not too use detergent on glasses only hot water clean....if glass is too clean you won't get the lacing 😊

[@lespetitsmoulins]

Just found your site. A couple of questions, how does the price work out, are nitro serge cans dearer than the widget cans? Also, can anyone explain the pin prick method with ordinary cans? Cheers.

[@thespencerarms2022]

Hi there and thank you for watching. Since this video Guinness now do bigger draft cans to fill a pint so the nitro surge can work out more expensive. However, they are in my opinion better . I’ve since used beer clean glasses and got a full lacing . As far as the pin prick works , you need to very slowly push a pin in to slowly release the pressure so it don’t activate the wiget . Then , pop on the cap , turn it on and do it in one pour . Cheers 🍻. Speno

[@lespetitsmoulins]

Thanks for that, much obliged.

Mine are decent enough but im not getting the lacing/shtick up the side, using very clean Guinness gravity glasses, not getting bubbles but still not getting that creamy lacing Any tips anyone?

[@thespencerarms2022]

Hi there . Since this , I’ve done a few more videos and managed to get the full lasing . Ive discovered beer clean glasses using a regenerator power and then just cleaning with salt water . Here’s the video where I get the full lasing . kzbin.info/www/bejne/larZY5qBh82Ujsksi=PXAbEUfIfCDXezav If this link don’t work, it’s called “ A journey to full lacing on the glass “ or something like that . Basically, clean bucket , clean baby bottle brush and warm salt water . Rinse well and air dry the glass for 24 hours . I do a beer clean glass video . The first one I used bi carb , but that’s not necessary. It’s all about regenerating the glass and then cleaning with pure salt water , and also lacing the glass with salt . Cheers for watching . Hope this helps . Speno

@@thespencerarms2022 thanks Spencer, I wasn't washing using salt water so I'll check out your video and give it a go. Cheers!

[@Peterharte73]

Just looking at your first KZbin video the reason there's no stick on the glass is because the cans are not cold enough I find the same problem also just put the glass in the freezer for 1 minute you're thumb print should only last on the glass for 5 seconds CHEER'S

[@lewismccoll6285]

Great Video! Your Nitro pour looked immense! I've been struggling a little with mine - the head being a little short. I've been chilling to 5 degrees, thermometer in the fridge. Do you think 5 degrees is maybe too cold?

[@thespencerarms2022]

Thank you for the really great feedback. 😀I personally think 5 degrees is too cold even though it’s recommend. Between 7 and 10 is my recommendation . Mine was under the bar on the floor . I’ve tried them at different temperatures and I recon it’s best served more at cellar chilled temperatures. Give it a go . Most important thing is to let it sit for 24 hours and treat it steady . 😊 Believe it or not , I still had a bit left in the can 😅.

[@lewismccoll6285]

@The Spencer Arms had another try last night with slightly warmer, well settled cans, and the head was still short 😫 Beginning to think I have a weak surger unit or a bad batch of cans.

[@thespencerarms2022]

Oh know … 😢. I’m presuming your using a proper Guinness glass , which is important. Just checks … 1. Crack open settled can .2. Put on cap . 3. Turn on and pour straight away all the way up to the top of the harp ( that’s important) 4. Wait , the top up . Make sure the nozzle don’t touch the glass , and the can is passed the horizontal. Good luck 🤞🏻. Let me know how you get on 👍🏻

I carefully hand wash Guinness glasses, I find with my (new style) harp glasses I don’t get lacing much, however I acquired some glasses from a Dublin visit, and they’re old style and a few years old now, and I get fantastic lacing, despite being washed the same way. I find the more a glass is washed over time the better lacing becomes, I always use rough scouring pads with hot water, fairy, and sometimes table salt. 🥲

[@thespencerarms2022]

Now that sounds like good logic . I’ve heard about the old style glasses , and it does make sense about the old glass theory. Thank you for the tip . I’ll give it a go with the fairy and salt . Cheers mate 🍻
