A word on gas…

[Monkhouse]

I use a 13kg propane (calor) gas bottle to fire my burner on brewdays for my boiler. I also have a small Calor gas bottle in case my 13kg runs out mid boil. My issue is I’ve heard on Facebook that Calor are discontinuing all their small gas bottles. Has anyone else heard anything regarding what the smallest bottle they will now produce?
This seems like it will get mighty expensive just to have a ‘back up’ gas bottle!!!

If your smallest cylinder is 13kg then you have nothing to worry about.

It's the ~4kg Propane or Butane cylinders and a few other small ones that they are stopping. As a camper / caravanner I know this might affect some though most of us use 6kg propane cylinders anyway. The main loss to me is the lightweight 6kg propane cylinders specifically aimed at the leisure market, they weighed quite a bit less than the standard 6kg cylinder and made it easier to manage the nose weight on my caravan.
