Title: Co2 Tanks / Refills
Post by: Acott on April 08, 2015, 09:40:32 AM
Hey just interested to know if anyone has a keg set up, and if so where do you acquire your Co2?
I'm thinking of investing in a kegerator before the summer and I'm not sure where I can pick up Co2 close to home.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Cronán and Barney are the men to talk to. I don't think any of the rest of us are kegging..........yet!

I use a fire extinguisher.

I get it from a company called Micom, they have a fella around Dundalk every week so I just ring him and let him know if I want a refill.

If you want his number I can PM you.

Did the same lad sort you out with the fire extinguisher or did you pick that up yourself?
Does your FE have the dip tube removed?

Yeah he sorted me out with one as the one I gave him was old.
The extinguisher still has dip tube installed, have not had any problems with it.

If the fex still has a dip tube its best to use it upside down!
