    Now, just seen this demo by an amateur on youtube

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfL0ssCG0Fo


    He pours it into the glass by stages instead of one full pour as stated on the can. (yes its in 2 stages in draft in a pub but the can has a widget and on the can it actually says 'Always pour entire contents into a glass immediately after opening!)

    This can probably be said for all cans with widgets(Beamish, Guinness, John Smiths)
    So which is right? One straight pour or doing it in stages like in the vid?:confused:

    He drank before it finished settling. Sacrilige!!! :pac:.

    I'd say one straight pour to be honest. He's just screwing up the settling by pouring it like that. All he's doing is shaking it up in the can. The reason it goes from "clear" to "dark" after each time he shakes it, is because it's settling in the can. I'd say you'd be better off to just pour the whole thing in and let it settle the normal way :).

    Find a sink and start pouring.
