How much does it cost you for your CO2?

[moosetav]

New to kegging and have an empty 5# tank. Tried searching but couldn't find an answer. About how much does it cost you guys to fill 'em up?

 

[motobrewer]

$1.50 / pound

 

[Reelale]

Last one I did was ten bucks for a 5# bottle. Make sure you keep ur bottle if its a good one, some places exchange only.

 

[moosetav]

Right on. I'd like to keep it b/c it's brand spanking new. Appreciate it.

I wish that it was that cheap around Boston. I pay $15-$17 for a 5#. Most places only charge a few dollars more for a 10#. I'm thinking that I need one of those soon...

I got a 20# tank and swap it out at the local welding supply for $18.50 out the door.

Check into swaps if you have the room for a 20# tank.

 

[Recusit8m]

8$ and change here in Louisville area from local welders shop

5 # is $20 fill in SF at the LHBS, but it has gotta be cheaper somewhere else.

 

[humann_brewing]

17-18 for a 5# exchange

yeah I need a bigger tank, I think the 20# is only a few dollars more.

I pay $20 for a 10# at a gas supply place. There seems to be a pretty big price swing here.

 

[chask31]

I paid 35 for a 5#. I hate ny sometimes

I get my 20# co2 tank filled for $8 from a vendor of mine. They are an industrial/medical gas supplier. The huge price break comes from the fact that I buy hundreds of oxygen cylinders from them a year! It used to be free, but I now have two(2) 20# co2 tanks and a 20# n2 tank and I don't want to abuse my vendor

It is $28 to fill my 10 lb tank at a local fire extinguisher/alarm place. My new 20 lb tank will be here next Tuesday, so I will know then what the difference is.....

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

$19 for a 20# fill.

 

[user 29674]

$18.78 for a 10# swap

 

[dustinp]

$10 for a 5# fill up at a fire extinguisher service company. Small town, USA!!

 

[DrHops]

$19 for a 5# fill from a local welding supply company 5 minutes, OR $15 from a paintball store 15 minutes away. The paintball store also sells new 5# tanks full for $80.

 

[IffyG]

12 bucks for a 5# exchange in Nashville.

 

[UTmtnbiker]

$8 from the local Airgas HQ for a 5# tank. Bring your own tank in and they don't exchange (or at least I didn't ask as my tank was brand spankin' new).

 

[azscoob]

I pay 5 dollars to fill a 5 LB tank at tops liquor or at sun devel liquor here in phoenix. I just filled two 5 LB bottles and got a mixed sixer of beers for 16 dollars on tuesday

 

[josiahcox]

$13 for 5# exchange at my local welding supply.

 

[Kraghed]

18.00 in Northeast TN

 

[Snausages01]

$13ish for 5# and $15ish for 10# in Bakersfield, CA.

$5-$7ish for 5# in Baton Rouge, LA.

 

[homebrewer_99]

It went up recently...it's just under $9 for 5# here.

 

[bradjoiner]

$2 a pound at my local homebew shop. filled not exchanged

 

[dobeluvr]

5# $16 or a 20# $17 exchanged, same price refilled but have to leave tanks a week

 

[jds]

About $14 at my local welding supply house, exchanged. $15 at the HBS, filled while-you-wait. The HBS is open weekends, also, where the welding supply is not.

That said, the welding supply guys "upgraded" me to an aluminum tank on a swap a few weeks ago. Score!

Tops rocks at only $1/lb. There is a beer store near me in Gilbert that charged me $4/lb to fill my 5lb tank. Since that fill up I went out and bought a second tank so I can fill the extra one up at Tops whenever I'm up in Tempe.

 

[Schwoopty]

I get charged $15 for 5#. It sounds like im at the higher end of the spectrum in Minneapolis.

 

[EO74]

$12 to fill my 5# cylinder @ r.e.lyons fire extinguisher supplier.Most welding supply dont let u keep ur pretty little tank only exchange!!!Try a fire ext supplier or paintball supplier!!
