Anyone in the Tampa/St. Pete area have a good location to get tanks refilled? I recently had a 5# refilled at Crumpton's Welding Supply in Tampa, and they charged $16! Damn.
I paid 22 for a swap at Airgas. My aluminum tank was out of hydro date so I got an aluminum replacement from them.
Ironically I plan on filling at crumptons from now on to save a few bucks.
Does it seem ironic to be buying CO2 for your beer, when your beer gave off a ton of it during fermentation?
9 years ago when I played paintball, I remember paying from $4.5-$6.5 to fill a twenty ounce co2 tank. So 16 doesn't seem too bad to me. Unfortunately crumptons is pretty far from me. OP how long did it take for them to fill the tank? With a long drive + wait time it may be better for me to just spend the extra bucks on the instant swap.
What is beergas?
It's a combo - beer gas + stout faucet. You need both for a 'nitrogen' served beer.
Anything further on this? I was hoping to find a place near Palm Harbor, but everyone I call only wants to do a tank exchange. Crumpton's said they would fill it for $16, so I'm prolly gonna head over there in a few minutes after traffic dies down.

You're joking right?
There's a place in Pinellas Park on 66th that fills 5lbs for 16 bucks, then its like $3 per lb after that.
My twin brother works at a place called Airgas Retail Solution they are a twin company for Airgas but have WAY lower pricing. 20lb refill is $16-20$ i believe and 50lbs is $28-$30(depending on region). His email address is [email protected] mention that you heard it from marvin and he wil hook you guys up His number is 727-576-0033 ext-11377 and they have branches accross the country. Cheers!
That's better than me for a 5 pounder but way worse on my 20 pounder.
I pay $20 for 5lb and $28 for 20lb. Yours would be $16 and $61.
Southern Brewery now does CO2 swaps. They're at Nebraska and MLK. Swap out hte gas and grab a beer at the same time.
