Ashleigh_g Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Looking to buy a co2 cylinder. want a small one so nothing bigger than 2kg. prefer smaller. will be heading to Brisbane for a few w/e's in September so can possible pick one up then, otherwise somewhere close to Toowoomba would be good thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmo2302 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 a good size would be a 2.6kg kegking cylinder, they are smaller than you think and only cost $25 to refil. otherwise you could look into the whole sodastream co2 canister option (adapter required) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashleigh_g Posted August 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 yes I have a 2.6 keg king already, but wanted something slightly smaller for this tank. haven't looked at soda stream, can you connect a reg/solenoid to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmo2302 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 you need an adapter for the sodastream bottle... then a normal regulator can connect to it. the adapters are about $25 off evil-bay.... or homebrew shops that do kegking can get them in for $22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashleigh_g Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 haha, course I'm a member over there . lol. yeah there's a couple i'm looking at if I have to buy new and that's one of them just seeing if any 2nd hand bottles where floating round first.

discus_noob Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Yeah I thought you were hahaha I just could not remember haha! Anyways sounds good I am just in the process of ordering another 3 x 0.82L bottles for a steal of a price from him I doubt there is many second hand bottles laying around, most hang onto them especially if they are a nice bottle like Adam's Another alternative is to do a boq swap and fill thing? Unsure on their size bottles though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
