CO2 supplies

[sheehc]

Hi Guys!

I'm a beginner brewer here. Want to know if you guys have some good suppliers in mind for the CO2 force carbonation setup? I'm North East England based.

I'm expecting 2 x 1BBL SS brew tech unitank, and a glycol chiller (haven't decided on the brand but will not be SS brew tech). Anything I need to look out for?

Many thanks!

Best bet is to search 'cellar gas' and your town on Google and call a few local places. You'll pay between £10 and £45 for a 6kg fill, and anything from free to £100 for a 6kg canister (personally I'd avoid renting a canister as can mount up, works out better for pubs etc. But your local deal might be with it for you.)

Is 1BBL about 100 litres?

117 plus the headspace, you can easily fill 6 cornies.

That's about 6 times more than I would expect a beginner to be going for!

Why are you going for a chiller over a keezer or a kegerator? Just interested in other peoples plans and set ups. What sort of beers do you brew?

And he said two of them so 12 times more. That’s what took me by surprise it’s usually start with 23. Otherwise how will you drink it all?

Maybe he is only going to brew once a year

Sorry! I realise the chiller is probably for brewing temp control rather than to serve through, that makes more sense in relation to the other bits you mentioned
