My prepared story before I went to BOC Gases
"My grandson, a poor uni student, has taken an interest in beer brewing as part of his Environmental Science degree. His dissertation explores how beer gassed with nitrogen develops a malty flavor and very small bubbles, whereas beer gassed with CO₂ has a sharp hops flavor. Since most pubs use CO₂, we can easily taste that difference anytime. I'm here to support him by purchasing nitrogen and a regulator system. And, of course, I get to critique his beer!"

I had pre-opened my BOC account online and used an Australia Post gift card (Mastercard) for payment. The young man who served me—who I suspect was just 18—was helpful and assisted me in loading everything into the car. The only issue arose when using the gift card, requiring him to seek help from the office staff.


The key takeaway: Have your story prepared so that if questioned, you can confidently explain your reason for purchasing food-grade nitrogen. I've read posts from others who faced scrutiny during their purchase, making for an uncomfortable experience. To avoid raising suspicions, be clear—you're using food-grade nitrogen as a beverage gas for beer.
