Stout dispensing

[sukivel]

Hello, I am a fairly new brewer and I am wanting(NEEDING) to brew a stout. My question is dispensing. Do I NEED a "stout" faucet and nitrogen, or is that just added for better stout taste? BTW, I currently keg in corny's but am only using a picnic tap until I can get a good faucet to mount to my fridge. Thanks!!!

No need to buy a stout faucet. IMO a stout faucet is more for mouthfeel and appearance than taste. Your stout will taste just fine from a picnic tap.

Yeah no need for a creamer faucet unless you want to have it. There are many more stouts out there not served on nitro than those that are. Something you can always add later if you want to... but a good stout doesn't need anything more than a glass to pour it in to.

Great! Thanks for the replies...and you know I'll end up with the stout/nitro setup someday...

Thanks again!!
