Howdy folks,
A few weeks ago I was able to pick up some corny's off of craigslist. Last night I was dropping some of my latest homebrew off with the guy that gave them to me. He knew I was still looking for a co2 canister, so he showed me what he had. They were from pepsi, maybe 20#ers. He said he paid a deposit, and he refills them with pepsi. He was willing to let me use one for the cost of the deposit, but I wasn't sure if I would be able to fill it. He is a food cart vendor, hence the cornys and the co2, etc.. He fills them at pepsi. So would airgas or someone else fill (or swap) these tanks for me? Or do they have to be filled at pepsi? Since I don't have a vendors license, I'm not sure they would deal with me. The guy said he would swap them for me if I needed, but it seems like a hassle. Anyway, its a decent price for a 20# tank, so I've been debating it. To tide me over though, I ended up picking up a co2 charger. I'm sure I'll use it for portability even after I get a real co2 setup going...
Anyway, any info is much appreciated. Thanks for all the good advice.
