Improve any beer, including Guinness with Fizzics DraftPour?
I review the Fizzics DraftPour by running a few of my favourite beer cans through it as well as a Guinness surger can, just to see if I can get that perfect Guinness.

When your using the Guinness surger cans , push the tap back for the whole pour , leave a little in the can to top up when settled.

Yes back for the whole pour! Fill three quarters, wait and do the rest.
This might be perfect for our boat since it’s portable and doesn’t take up much space. Great for RVs too!
I've got a PD and a fizzics and I love them both. I find the PD refills to be quite pricy but worth it every now and then. I use the fizzics nearly every time I have a can or bottle personally and had it since December. Cheers 🍻

@@BigBaldReviews I just run hot or cold water through it whenever I change to a different beer. If I'm having a session with the same beer I just keep using it and run water through it once I've finished them all as it can be a ball ache keep doing it after each drink. Mine has stayed pretty clean over the months though and not got moldy or dirty at all.

I've just turned the PD off after having it for 18 months. To be honest it's a bit expensive for what's on offer. It isn't a pub quality pint, it's a gadget so we can pretend we've got a pub in our house. I'm not getting rid of it but I'm going to ease back on the keg purchases.

@@Dmacca2489 I've not had any issues with that. All I would advise is not too have huge expectations about the fizzics. It will not change the flavour of your beers. It more alters the texture making drinks smoother with better heads making them more "pub draft" like. I have no regrets getting one and enjoy using mine personally though 👍
Hi Baldy. Thes fizzics are a bit gimmicky. I have the previous iteration called Fizzics Waytap and I only use it in the winter with stouts/Porters. I’ve found it doesn’t work at all for lager/Pilsners as it leaves them looking lifeless and tasting flat. It’s ok with bitters pale ales and IPA’s and does slightly improve the mouthfeel, head retention and makes the beer slightly smoother. With Stouts & Porters it is a great piece of kit and makes your stout/Porter taste like it’s nitrogen charged rather than a CO2 carbonated beer. It doesn’t work well with nitrogen charged beer such as Guinness draught or the Surger cans but using the Guinness original (CO2 carbonated) it makes it taste almost as good as a nitrogen charged beer and very close to the draught/Surger cans. My fizzics is currently back in the box until the winter comes and it’s stout/Porter season again. Have a good weekend Joff 👍👍🍺🍺

So for Guinness, try the normal cans with a widget, use the pin trick to release the nitro from the widget, then when pouring, instead of pulling tap forward then back, just pour by pushing tap back right from the start of the pour.

You’ve poured the Guinness surger can wrong - you need to push the handle forward for 1st part pour until above the harp - leave for about 30 secs and push forward again to top up for a dome head

Sorry for the repeated “Ello Ello” comments Baldy, it wasn’t showing my end and I was kinda excited to beat the usual commenters with “first” 😂 Watching your video I am now thinking on investing in one of them but could you possibly do another vid with a few more cans to see if it’s worth it? I understand that it will improve a can (simple fizzics mate) but can it bring the can up to the perfect draft standards? Anyway, thanks for another interesting and entertaining vid matey, all the best and cheers 🍻

Got one of these coming as I'm intrigued to try it. I only drink ipa and pales and mostly hazy ones at that and Arbor beers that I buy always have all the flavour and sediment in the bottom of the can. I've seen on reviews this machine leaves some beer in the bottom of the can because the tube doesn't go all the way down to the bottom of the can. So is the fizzics going to miss all that goodness at the bottom? Am I going to have to stop the pour halfway to open the fizzics up and swirl the can?
@BigBaldReviews

I think it depends on the can. The Guinness surger can I didn't notice any at the bottom, but then I did raise it a bit. I've had a few bottles through it this weekend and it did leave a bit at the bottom of those. Should think a quick swirl just beforehand would be ok? I need to try it out myself a bit more to be honest fella 👍🍻
