I'm so tired of getting screwed by homebrew shops on out of date CO2 tanks.
I've exchanged CO2 tanks in the past only to find out they were out of date, and had to pay a fee. Doesn't seem right when the LHBS I'm exchanging from gave me an either outdated, or close to outdated tank.
I took a trip to Greenville in July for a conference and took an empty CO2 tank with me to get refilled at the LHBS there. My wife did it while I was at the conference. It ran out in about two months. When I took it to my LHBS they told me it was 3 years out of date, and charged me a $40 certification fee. Pissed the LHBS in SC screwed me, I just figured it happens sometimes, moved on.
The tank ran empty two days ago, and I took it to a place that refills. They refused, as the tank expired last month. After charging me $40 for a certification fee, my LHBS sold me a tank that had only two months left on it!
I'm so tired of this ****. Am I the only one this keeps happening to?
