Brewing Relared Gas Prices

[dx250]

I am thinking that we need a thread on what everyone is paying for their gases and where. I also think that we need a little more information as to swamping tanks, hydro tests, and other info that is needed for anyone looking to get a tank filled.

The format I was thinking should be something like this:

Gas (nitrogen, oxygen, CO2, beer gas, propane, or something else you use)

Cylinder size (cu ft, pound, or however the metric folks measure them)

Swap or fill

Supplier and location

Gas cost including fees

Was hydro test needed and cost if needed

What part of Atlanta are you in?

Our club based in snellville (New London Hombrew Club) has a member who works at airgas and we have a club discount. It isn't much less than what you paid at nexair though, I think the last time was around $21 per 20# tank for a swap.

Years ago I also used Tucker beverage control who was right at $20 per tank for a fill, which meant the tank needed to be in test or they would charge an additional $20. I don't know about current pricing though, as I haven't been there in years.

I am in Lawrenceville, walking distance from Airgas. The club is definitely on my radar but spare time and work have not allowed me to join yet.

$30 to swap out 5 lb co2, Rockville MD (DC suburb).

This place is insanely expensive. I really can’t wait to move next year.

Gotcha, I completely understand, but let me know if you are ever interested in coming by to a club meeting, or if you want to come by the house over here to sample some of what I have (I live in Tucker).

That sounds good.
