Is a 9oz co2 tank too small for a 5gal keg. I'm going to build a portable keg cooler and I have a 9oz tank. What do you think?
Prost!

I serve multiple 5 gallon kegs using a single 20oz paintball CO2 tank. I don't think you'd have a problem with one on a 9oz personally.

I usually go through a couple of 16oz cartridges of CO2 per 5 gallon keg.
5# will allow me to carb to 3 volumes, and serve, 8 kegs (3 to carb, 1 to serve = 4 volumes used per keg)
that is 4x8=32 volumes for 5#
32/5= 6.4 volumes per pound of CO2
1# CO2 = 16oz
so 9oz should be equal to about 3.5 volumes, which means you should be able to push about 17.5gal of carbonated beer from a single 9oz tank
