$35 co2 tank free shipping

[mike neff]

Bought one just for purge/transfers. Reddit users saying they are stamped 2019. Build.com

Before you buy a tank, find out if your local co2 supplier fills yours or exchanges theirs .. just my experience

 

[k-os]

I saw this posted on Homebrewing Reddit and ordered one yesterday. Should be here Monday.

Cool. Thanks. If they are 2019 tanks, this is a steal.

Good point as some around here only fill their tanks or they charge an obscene amount to test the tank before exchanging it. Others, will simply exchange any tank.

At $35 who cares your not losing with exchange or fill ups

What is the intended use of the CO2 tank? 5lbs really doesn't last that long. Geez, 20 lb CO2 tank doesn't last that long. Also, price to fill a 5 vs 20 lb tank isn't that much (in other words filling a 20 lb tank isn't the price of a 5 lb tank x 4).

Depends on how you use it. 5# will dispense several kegs-for a lot of us that’ll last quite a while.

As far as cost, every fill/exchange I’ve ever seen is done by weight, so a 20# tank is exactly 4x the cost of filling a 5# one, usually~$3/lb

I usually get about 10-12 kegs dispensing, but it depends on whether you use the CO2 to carbonate or are letting the beer self-carbonate in the keg.

Just goes to show that things are different depending where you are. I can get a 5# tank filled for about $16; the 10# is about $24.

I just got email that it shipped less than a day after ordering. I’ll post stamp date when I get it. Cheapest I found for tank deposit around here is 80 bucks so even if I exchange it I’m saving $$

It’s great to have a back up, because naturally when you need it the most you’ll run out. Murphy’s law.

I went to the site and there was a question about the certification but no answer. If they are out of date they will needed to retested before someone will fill them. I think it cost me $50 for a one day turn around on a tank test and certification. $30 for a few day turn around.

mine will be delivered by tomorrow so I will post pic of stamp. I exchange my tanks at a beverage center and because the guy is lazy and it’s illegal to bring the tank inside I just hold it up outside the glass doors and he just motions for me to leave it by the filled ones. For 35 bucks it’s worth a shots

My local HBS (an hour drive) charges $10 to fill a 5 lb tank and $15 for a 10 lb tank.

There are a few fire extinguisher places near the HBS that charges $1/lb to fill a tank but they are only open M-F.

Another HBS only does exchanges and they charge about $35 for a 5 lb tank- told him he was nuts but even more so are the people paying that. But i guess if you have no choice then that's what you have to do.

The welding supply places also only do exchanges for about $35 for a 5lb or $50 for a 10 lb.

What's why we use a regulator gauge.

What's why we use a regulator gauge.

True, though if one is only using one tank and is frugal like me it needs to be emptied before a refill.

 

[K_tile]

I bought two. My LHBS wanted $100 for a new 5lb tank. My area co2 place will recert for $25. I want the 5lbs for pressure transfers and jockey box. I hate disconnecting my 20lb tank.

 

[mike neff]

I just got tank. It is stamped 7/18. Not too bad for price

unfortunately, when the gauge goes down, i'm too drunk to drive....

 

[TwistedGray]

Does that mean it needs recertified or whatever again or is 2018 okay for exchange? Pardon my ignorance

 

[mike neff]

It is good for 5 years from stamp. So 7/23 if my math is right

 

[TwistedGray]

And my first Co2 tank that's not a paintball tank will be here Friday, thanks for the link @mike neff and @CodeSection

 

[TwistedGray]

And with that, here's a 5% discount for whoever uses it first...I got it for signing up for their email, but I couldn't use it on this order. Enjoy!

Be ready it is just the tank... not as pictured with the brass valve.

It should come with the valve someone asked that question.

I have 2 tanks due for testing at $50 each it would be cheaper to just buy these I am thinking

Does this tank come with the CGA320 valve or should buy it separately?

   Hello Sam! The Luxfer CYL-5-AL-CO2 does include the valve. Unfortunately, the valve part number is not listed.

Many have received these tanks and have been satisfied, if it wasn’t as pictured I’d think many would be crying...instead of celebrating

 

[k-os]

Mine came with the valve. Dated 2018.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

I just emailed the company... likely an oversight in shipping. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

Mine wasn’t as pictured, but it makes sense for warehousing that the valve goes on last.

 

[mike neff]

Mine has valve as well

Are you aware that the needle won't move on the gauge until there is no liquid CO2 left in the tank? At that point, the tank runs out in a hurry.

Brew on

Guess I've gotten lucky as it's a slow needle movement until empty.

Learnt something today...that explains a lot then

 

[ba-brewer]

I get a month or more when the needle starts moving. There is still about a pound left when it get really close to the red.

Catalina tanks stamped 01/19. Arrived as pictured.

 

[Kirkwooder]

Just ordered one, said their was over 900 in stock. I'll post my impressions when it gets here.

 

[FrostyBeach]

I also received a Catalina Cylinder with a 01/19 hydro stamp. Good deal.
