Mine doesn't do this foaming surge anymore, it worked fine for the first day. it just makes a noise and has no effect on the pour whatsoever, any ideas?
Bought one last week and have gone through 6 cans over 3/4 days. On every occasion I’ve found the Guinness a bit thin/watery vs a proper pint in a pub. Certainly serves a purpose at home (and the pint looks better vs the normal can) but not fully sold on it to be honest.
If it is like pouring from a tap in a pub, you needed to pour your regular beer differently. You'd need to put the spout right next to the glass at the begining of the pour. This is why a beginner barman is throwing out pints that's all head, you made the classic rookie mistakes. Different beers and different taps require very different pouring techniques.
Not to criticise, but you should turn it on just before the pour as it has a 30 second timer and yours turned off before the first pour . Good pouring technique though and a great video . The reason you had more left in the can was because of the incorrect first pour . You should be able to empty the full can on the second pour and get the perfect dome. Great video though 🍺
Good video. You just put the glass straight a bit to early need to keep it at a 45ﾟ angle for longer 👍which gave you a little bit of a big head . If you hadn't done that there would have be just about the exact amount in the can to fill it with the perfect dome on top 👌
you know you're in the future when you have to digitally hook your beer up to your computer and charge it.. i can't finish my beer man it's going to run out of bars i have to charge it .. have to find another port because right now i'm currently charging the batteries in my sandwich
I have tried two surge gizmos so far and neither of them surge anywhere to the same power yours seems to do. Head always about half the size too. Your pint looks great.
Same here man. My biggest problem is getting a nice big head. Here and there i get one, almost so beautiful i dont wana drink it cuz its so rare for me
I'd say when it comes to "being close to a pub", I know the quality varies wildly when it comes to the pubs in Sligo. I'd say it's better than a few of the pubs, but not as nice of the nicest pubs in town. Overall a worthwhile purchase, though. Far better than the usual Guinness widget cans.
Could pour the WW & use the nitrosurge near the end of the tin for the euro style head. Have a fizzics machine, similar principle, but better control. Ideal for craft beers/stouts
It "can" be used on any can. The results from a regular draught can I suspect would be too much head. As for being for sale in the UK, I don't believe so, not initially. That said, I believe you guys get the surger cans? We never did. The surger can is probably the same so you would just have to get your hands on one of these gadgets.
@@Taleofale I got the surge and I did get a few can. But I've not seen them in the shops for a few years now and if you look online they are so expensive. Thanks for the feedback
Why would you want to? This device gets the dome and everything on the pint. I’m guessing you have the jewellery cleaner and don’t wanna spend the 25 euro which is understandable I guess
Yeah it does work on the jewellery cleaner , the new device is shite In my opinion I tried 3 cans with new device all shite , first one in cleaner was perfect
Well, it looks like it's almost a year since it was released. Back then, it was Ireland only so I couldn't say for certain, however the device could easily be ordered online and shipped if not. As for the cans, I've heard from a comment below that if you carefully pierce a normal can of draught Guinness with the widget inside, it won't release the nitrogen in the widget and you can then open it and attach the Nitrosurge device.
So is it as good as a good pint in the pub? Always found cans very watery, is it creamier? Have you tried the standard cans of Guinness with the nitro surge, these custom cans are €15 for 6...a bit pricey
It's as good as you'll get at home. Haven't tried the nitro-surge no. The price might be expensive compared to regular Guinness, I don't buy it so not sure. The beer I buy is usually more expensive than even this. In fact. €2.50 a can is the minimum I pay.
@@Taleofale Which proves what i've always suspected. When you buy a pint in a pub you're not getting a full measure. More profit for the shareholder, less beer for the punter.
Have it and it is definitely the best pint I've had at home but still not in the league of a pub pint, at the end of the day you're still getting it from a tin so it will never be as good
Oh and I am not a fan of Nitrogen in beers. It negatively affects the flavour and I would rather a more flavoursome beer than a creamy head. When I brew a stout, it's purely CO2 but I still have a lovely head, just not the creamy look you get from nitrogen.
Good vid but do you know that it works perfectly with regular draft cans also which are cheaper & you get much more value, all you need to do is pierce the top of the can with a small panel pin or likewise to release pressure without disturbing the widget so when you open the can it will be flat, attach the device & pour, it’s perfect & just as nice
They’re 2 completely different cans make differently and make to be poured differently. If the only thing that impresses you is using a gadget go for it
You’re absolutely correct. Puncturing the widget can neutralises the widget. The beer in the widget can and in the nitrosurge can is the exact same product.
Head was smooth yes and it lasted. It's not quite 100% of the pub version but close enough. The colour of the head seems less white than a pub pint. Hard to be sure.
Nah, no need for the same reason that a single pour of Guinness tastes exactly the same as a 2 part pour. It's all theatre born of tradition from when Guinness was served from 2 casks, one old and one fresh. It effectively was a 2 part pour because it was blended. The modern 2 part pour was invented with the nitro keg to show drinkers at the time that it was the same beer. That and it helped control the head.
Hah, funny. No chance, that beer was absolutely wonderful once the Belgian style head died down. And of course I only poured a little before it foamed up so the rest of the beer in the can was perfection when not poured through an ultrasonic device not designed for CO2 beer.
First of all the head is much creamier, also you get the dome like you do in the pub. As for taste, I’ll report back in a few hours as I just bought one :)
Great demonstration of a questionable product…imagine punters going at that fiddly gubbins after “a few”! Assuming the beer tastes like the bland cans, this is all about the look of the product…baffles me too why Guinness persists with those awful glasses that most regular Guinness drinkers reject. It would serve them better reintroducing bottle conditioned Guinness, now that’s something I’d go for.
Another waste of money gimmick by Diageo. I remember the launch of the Draught Bottles in the mid 2000’s, we handed out 100’s of free bottles in a nightclub in Belfast, at the end of the night we counted 100’s of free bottles with one or two sips out of them. This will die a death in a few years.
@BlueBoy 1 if it’s close taste wise to a pub pint, with places in belfast now charging close to a fiver a pint then I don’t begrudge paying 2 quid for a pint in the comfort of my living room.
@BlueBoy 1 aye hopefully they come down in price a little. I think £1.50 is a fair price considering they are larger than regular cans. At £2.20 or thereabouts at what they are at now it isn’t too far off, hopefully the more people that buy the device the more pressure there will be on Diageo to lower the price
It’s gas Guinness sh@t housery give the uk market a more complicated more expensive way of doing it give the Irish market the more simplified more practical way of doing it just bought it and it is out of this world RIP the pub
How hot does the hob need to be?
😂
Depends on how cold the can of Guinness is.....
Not too hot for beef stroganoff
🤣🤣🤣🤣
45 degrees I'm sure he said 🤣

Interesting, I'd love to see a side by side, ideally blind taste test between both this and a proper pub pint. The only way to truly tell.
Same

Mine doesn't either, on day one I could see the foam surging, on day three literally does nothing..
@@AxelDaleTattoo..make sure your cans are not too cold...the warmer it is the better the head...I put my cans in the fridge an hour before I pour.

Would agree with this. I would say not as good as a pub but I’m judging it on the best pubs. I live in the north and quality of Guinness varies a lot

Would these cans work well with jewellery cleaner, as opposed to the pin prick trick

Yeah it does work on the jewellery cleaner , the new device is shite In my opinion I tried 3 cans with new device all shite , first one in cleaner was perfect

Oh and one other thing, they aren't 500ml cans they are 558ml cans which is more than fits in a pint glass with head.
@@Taleofale Which proves what i've always suspected. When you buy a pint in a pub you're not getting a full measure. More profit for the shareholder, less beer for the punter.

Is the nozzle/spout to be in lock or unlock position for pour?
What does common sense tell you
I’d encourage everyone to build their own bar and buy Guinness in Kegs! 👍 🍻
Okay nice one, will do, thanks for the advice
Or even better, do what I do myself. Brew your own and always have kegs of beer on tap.
Oh and I am not a fan of Nitrogen in beers. It negatively affects the flavour and I would rather a more flavoursome beer than a creamy head. When I brew a stout, it's purely CO2 but I still have a lovely head, just not the creamy look you get from nitrogen.
I cannot find these for sale in England. Can I buy this off of you please 🙏
I think Guinness have or going to stop making them cans!! Yeah I know! WTF
Do you know if it’s any better than using the Guinness surger / ultrasonic jewelry cleaners?
I believe so. Because it's designed with pouring in mind rather than simply activating the nitrogen, the result is a domed head the same as a pub.
@@Taleofale Good to know, thanks!
No the cleaner with the nitro surge is far better than the Guinness with this new device
I have one doesnt do anything and is faulty
Good vid but do you know that it works perfectly with regular draft cans also which are cheaper & you get much more value, all you need to do is pierce the top of the can with a small panel pin or likewise to release pressure without disturbing the widget so when you open the can it will be flat, attach the device & pour, it’s perfect & just as nice

Did it have a smooth head like a pint in a good pub or was the foam covered in pin pricks?
Smooth. I will say that the head goes quicker while drinking it in my experience
Head was smooth yes and it lasted.
It's not quite 100% of the pub version but close enough. The colour of the head seems less white than a pub pint. Hard to be sure.
How much are they ?
€25 for the device. A 6 pack of cans appears to be €15 making them €2.50 per can.

Yes.dowm with local breweries who don't sell out their licence to multinationals..
