Pub gas bottle fittings

[Hoddy]

They're only quoting me £15.95. Perhaps that's ex vat.

Very probably. They are a commercial company that would normally deal with VAT registered co's. Either way its a steal.

I pay £9+VAT no deposit but I have a bar and they won't deal with home brewers. 70/30 60/40 & 50/50 are £1 more.

My supplier charges £45 for the first cylinder then £5 for refills thereafter...

OT - Given how some folks are struggling to find pub gas suppliers, would it be any good to start a sticky or does this violate some advertising policy?

Hi!
I questioned the gas suppliers at my local WMC but they wouldn't supply home brewers with the very large bottles that we use there. They couldn't better the price I pay to my local supplier (6kg £20 plus £45 for the first bottle).

As long as it's not a company discussing their supplies there is no problem at all.

Yes, it's £19.19 inc vat. Just had my bottle turn up today having ordered yesterday.

What’s not to like

Including.

No deposit or bottle rental.

Look for an energas in your area.

Just ordered https://www.stevensonplumbing.co.uk/brass-tap-extension-3-4-inch.html online to see if either end fits the corresponding valve fitting. Rather spend a few quid now on this than around £50 for a regulator that doesn’t fit. If this works, HALLELUJAH, if not, back to square one.

It's back to square one. Both ends of the 3/4" BSP brass extension were too big for the corresponding valve fittings. It looks like there are no members out there that use nitrogen regulators. Will have to try somewhere else for help.

Hello Simon,
As you are using n/co2 mixed gas bottles, can you please tell me the type/make/model number/ supplier of your regulator(s), or anything else that will help me buy the correct NITROGEN regulator. Thanks.

I don't use mixed gas but if you buy a regulator for mixed gas and beer dispense it will fit the connection seems to be called BS 341 no 3.

Out of interest, what sort of pressure should be showing on the high pressure gauge with a full bottle of co2?

Does this look right?

My refills are a tenner (when they turn up). Got a fire extinguisher as a spare.

It depends on temperature but I think its normally around double that ie 60ish and never goes that low unless its nearly out. Thats off the top of my head I can check tomorrow.

 

[simon12]

Just found this which suggests you reading is normal at around 1C

Probably about right then. It's probably close to that down in the shed.

Thanks

Mines currently on 50 bar in a 21ish C room so the chart does seem perfect or the gauges and thermometers are out

Anyone know what the correct sized spanner is for a standard co2 regulator nut? Been using an adjustable spanner up to now but it's not really best practice is it?

Cheers. Tom
