Standard price for CO2

[VermVerm]

I was wondering what is the normal price for a refill? Any suggestions on where to go. And yes it was a leak... bah humbug

 

[anthrobe]

it costs me $10 to fill my 5lb bottle. I go a local liquior store.

 

[FlyingHorse]

Also $10 for 5 lb. Welding supply shop.

 

[homebrewer_99]

$7.50 for a 5# at the welding shop.

Do you guys know of any national chains that will refill co2?

 

[malkore]

none that I know of. CO2 is such a generic thing, a national chain wouldn't make enough money on it to benefit from doing it.

welding shop here charged me about $13 for a 5# fill.
liquor stores that sell kegs often can do it.
fire extinguisher shops too.

Have a look around the database listed here, anyone who knows fillers that aren't on the list should add them.

I get 5# fills for $12.60 (including tax) at a local industral gas supplier.

 

[Drunkensatyr]

11.09 for 20# this morning

I have a small soda distributor a half a mile down the street from my house. He charges me 5 bucks to fill my 5# tank. Also sells me cornies at $16 a piece which is great when you factor in no shipping. Kelly

I just paid $12 to get my new 10# tank filled. Just about the same price as getting my 5# filled I figure in two or three refills, I'll have covered the extra cost in going with a 10# instead of a 5# tank. Now I can serve beer at two pressures or serve beer in two locations. I'm building a custom beer cart with 4 taps to use for back yard parties in the summer. At next weekend's pig roast I'll have 3 or mine and one guest beer on tap in the cart, and still have the 3 regulars in the basement bar.

$15.00 for my 10 pounder.

Pictures would be nice!


Also, I finally found someone to fill my tanks here in Indy. It was an industrial welding gas company. They charged me $19 for 10#'s. Kinda steep but I don't care cause the BEER MUST FLOW ON!

I'll post pictures when it is finished!! I've only got 7 days left to get it finished before the big party. The 2" sytrofoam has been installled. In doing this it dawned on me, that with a little more carefull planning I might be able to use it as a fermentation chiller when It isn't set up for a party. I just have to make sure I can rig it up such that I can put a carboy in it, not just cornies.

Was that from a national chain?
