Title: CO2 cylinders and refills.
Post by: darktemplar92 on July 20, 2014, 11:35:12 PM
Alrighty guys :) Firstly a big thanks to all who helped on the previous post.
Felt the need to have a new post and the old one deleted after the amount of back and forth because of me :)

I am up north (Belfast) and have come to acquire a genuine source of BOC cylinders.

I currently am able to get my hands on 6KG pub style boc cylinders of co2 with a gross weight of 17.5kg and a RH 0.86 inch x 14 TPI Male valve

I can also source mixed gas per request.

The way I will be working is a new cylinder will cost £50 and when you need it refilled, I will take it, and swap it for another cylinder filled and with a seal at £25 a pop.

I can't do deliveries unfortunately as I do not drive.

I don't know anything about homebrewing as I am a fish keeper and thats what i use co2 for.

any further info please comment :)

Don't remember asking this so apologies if I'm repeating myself,  but where up North are you based?
Also, when can you start this service?

Cheers,

Belfast... nice. What area? Also (again at risk of repeating myself) will you fill any 6kg tank I.e. one not supplied by yourself?
Do you operate evenings?

That's the last of the questions,  I promise  :)

North Belfast :) No worries I think you did ask a few on that last post lol

I dont think i have the knowledge to be honest but I was looking at refill kits so it may be something I could look into :)

Id prefer evenings actually :)

Not to cast aspersions about your bona fides but it would be great if you could clarify how you come to be in.possession of bona fide boc cyclinders and have the ability to refill them with NO2? Boc in the south of will only refill bottles hired direct from them.
