CO2 refills

Where do you go for your refills? I am loyal to my local brew shop, but next time I do not want to wait a week for the tank to be set out for refilling. I have heard of some people going to paintabll shops.....how safe is that?

i refill at my local welding shop. 10lbs tank for $20.

Search for local bar and syrup supply stores. They are who fill the local bar and soda tanks and they will usually fill yours on the cheap. Mine cost $17 for a 20lb. Plus mine will do nitrogen blending if you want it and your tank will support it.

For exchanges, I use both MoreBeer Concord and the welding shop near them. Welding shop is cheaper, MoreBeer is open on weekends.

Try looking for a local Fire Extiguisher Supply company too. I go to the local ABC Fire location and swap out tanks for $6. But its a swap, not a refill. I think they will do a refill, but not while you wait.

So, I guess the CO2 does not have to be food grade....or is CO2 even food grade?
