To start, I know the difference between 'industrial' and 'food grade' CO2.
Okay, now that that is out of the way. I have a neighbor who wants to sell me one of this numerous CO2 tanks because he isn't using it and heard me say i need one. He has something like two 20#ers and 4-5 5#ers sitting in his attic and garage.
My question is this, he has so many tanks because he does lawn and athletic field spraying and uses the CO2 to push the spray.
Now, other than giving the tanks a good scrubbing, would be there any danger in using one of these to push beer? I haven't seen his setup to see what kind of regulator he uses, but i'd assume it's one that would keep anything from backing up into the tank, but i can certainly ask.
I'm just worried that the tank could contain some kind of chemical nastiness given what they are being used for right now.
