is a 5 lb co2 tank too little or should you go to a 10 lb for more money -- do you have to change the smaller out so often that painful etc even if running 2 5 gallon kegs?? Is a third regulator for gas remaining in tank worth the extra cash??

or plan ahead and make sure your tank is filled prior to the superbowl starting

It costs nearly as much to have a 5lb cylinder filled as it does my 15lb cylinder.
Don't ask me why, the fool at gas place couldn't explain it either. Thats why I use the 15 for my kegerator, and I use the spare 5 for purging kegs for storage and cleaning.

They charge mostly for the labor- I know my 5 is about $10, my 20 is about $14. I bought my 5 with the intent of using in the fridge, but received 2 20 tanks for free 
Having a spare is a big plus!
