CO2 for Corny Kegs

[Byron]

I got a corny off eBay a few years back and have never got round to using it. It came with an empty CO2 canister but I can't find anywhere to fill it/swap it.

Any suggestions? I'm in Norwich

Not many places will accept any other c02 bottle other than their own. I get my gas from a place that supplies to the welding industry, I had to put a deposit on the bottle, you could have words with your local pub land lord if you cant find some where that does welders c02

Look for a local outlet of hobbyweld or the airliquid company.ora local Adams gas

gas bottles are usually owned by the supplier not the consumer which keeps it simple for the safety certification.. if you buy your own bottle you are then also responsible to ensure its tested regularly etc..

saying that some folk will fill a 'dodgy' bottle, try fire extinguisher suppliers and private motor garages that use the big bottles of co2 for welding. also if you know any paintball enthusiasts ask them as they know all about sharing co2..

dont try selling the old bottle to a scrap yard either you could end up in hot water over that if it is in fact a suppliers property, you can contact the kegwatch folk as they also scour for lost gas bottles, and if it is a suppliers bottle they will probably arrange its return and if not you can sell for scrap without any worries of being questioned about stolen property.

CO2 and 70/30 Mixed Gas. Found a place in Stockport called Savanna Gases. They supply 6.3Ltr CO2 gas as well as 10Ltr 70/30 mised gas.
You pay £15 per refill and pay a £40 refundable deposit on the bottle.They have free local delivery too. You can keep the bottle for as long as you want and simply exchange when you need more gas. No extras or rental charges! He is popular with brewers in the area.
Hope this helps.

That's who I use although I rang them and organised it over the phone. They delivered the bottle to the door too.

What sort of prices do they charge? I'd seen them but instantly thought they would be expensive.

£50 once only payment on the pub sized bottle then £10 plus vat for the gas and exchanges so that's £12 inclusive of the dreaded VAT
