CO2 refill or fill near Columbus, Ohio

I live in Delaware, OH. I found a couple places nearby for CO2:

Barley Hopsters in Delaware
ABCO Fire in Dublin on 161
Geer Gas in Columbus just off 315&Goodale

Barley Hopster is a local Homebrew supply store. They have co2, but they underfilled my tank. They do not have the proper equipment for and complete a proper fill. They are extremely friendly and a great place for your home brew needs. Just maybe not for CO2...

ABCO Fire supplies CO2 for fire extinguishers etc. They also will fill a co2 tank for you. I have not tried them yet, but understand that most of these places that fill for fire extinguishers etc have the proper equipment and fill tanks properly.

Geer Gas is awesome! If you have the option, go there! These folks KNOW what they are doing and are very friendly. They also will fill your tank while you wait, which only takes a few minutes. They have very good prices and charge about 12 bucks for 5lbs of co2. You don't have to worry with them, they always make sure you get ALL your co2 per fill. I had one minor issue with one of my tanks, they not only replaced it for free, but upgraded it to an aluminum tank! They also threw in a free fill! Like I said, these guys are very friendly, very knowledgeable, and are the place to go for your co2!

Just to add, I ended up getting my 20# tank filled at DeLille, in south east columbus. A few miles south of I70. It was a bit over $23 to fill a 20# tank. Not a swap, they are an actual gas company. Did aight by me.

The new homebrew shop in Westerville does exchanges for 5lb tanks, not sure about other sizes. IIRC it's about $12 for an exchange as long as your tank is still certified.

Buckeye BrewCraft does exchanges on 5, 10, and 20 lb tanks in certification or not. There is a $25 re certification fee. Prices are comparable to anyone else.... $13.50,16.00, and 21.00 respectively. Open 10-7 daily, 12-5 Sunday

Just updating the thread because it's been super helpful for me. Barley Hopsters no longer fills tanks, I didn't specifically ask about an exchange but it wasn't offered either.

Buckeye BrewCraft in Westerville now does REFILLS as well as swaps on 2.5,5,10, and 20lb CO2 tanks! No difference in prices for refills or exchanges. They also do beer gas (exchanges).
