I froze my Mizer.

I just want to share a few pic of my bulk CO2 tank.
Too much demand will freeze it.

Happy carbonating everyone :slight_smile:

I’ve sen propane bottles do that as well. Do you force carb your production beers?

Yes I do. Now I have 450 lb bulk CO2 tank.
300 lb was just too small and could not evaporate fast enough.
I still freeze me new tank from time to time thou.

Are you renting or did you buy the tank? How much does it cost to have it filled?

I rent the tank.
That is why I was able to get bigger tank.
it is twenty five a month
1 lb is twenty five cents.

Some bulk co2 tanks come with a little electric heater that automatically switches on when it starts to freeze. You might want to ask you supplier if that is available.

Sorry I couldn’t help it!

I hope the regulator is ok, we froze one enough that it broke (pressure testing ~500 cornies after a keg buy).

I know about those.
Those are 600 lb.
I did not “graduate” to that one yet :slight_smile:

Regulator was fine so no worry there.

That is some extremely cheap co2! I think my per pound is something like $3.80

How do you measure your carbonation levels?

I’m paying a tad over $.50 a pound.

I get my 10lb tank filled for about $19.00. So $1.90/lb.

5Lb=$10
10Lb = $13
20Lb = $15

This is at a fire safety shop.

Wow…I might have to drive up to Michigan to refill my tanks.  :o

or maybe not… :wink:

Bulk CO2 is always cheaper.
I carbonate in bright tank thru carbonation stone (I do not vent).
33F at 12 psi do the job in about a day.
