Kegging & CO₂

Pure CO₂.
Filled while you wait.

Beverage-grade CO₂ tested to 99.9% purity, full-measure fills, and all the kegging gear you need. Tanks up to 20 lb — sorry, we can't fill SodaStream-style bottles.

Great beer deserves high-quality CO₂.

Aluminum CO2 tanks in 5, 10 and 20 lb sizes

No odors, no off-flavors, no headaches from contaminants.

Beverage-grade
CO₂ fills

Industrial CO₂ from welding shops usually isn't tested to beverage purity. Most liquor stores that fill tanks don't have the equipment for a full-measure fill — you pay for a full tank and rarely get one. We fill correctly, while you wait.

Beverage grade

FDA-mandated 99.9% purity — crisp, clean, and bright.

Full-measure fill

Filled on proper equipment, while you wait.

Up to 20 lb

We don't fill tanks larger than 20 lb, and we can't fill SodaStream-style bottles.

Hydrotesting — is my tank in code?

DOT rules say every tank we fill must have a production or hydro-test date within the last 5 years. The date is stamped on the tank's shoulder as month-year — 07-12 means July 2012. At room temperature a CO₂ tank holds 900–1,000 psi, so it's worth it: a fresh hydro-test makes an old tank as good as new for another 5 years.

We will not fill a tank that is out of code. If yours is expired you've got options:

$10 credit

Toward a new tank when you trade in your expired one.

We test it

We take tanks down for hydro-testing about once a month; it takes about a week. Call for pricing.

Regulators & PSI levels
Is my tank good?

Force carbonation, the easy answer

30 PSI · 24–40 hrs · 35°F

Set your regulator to 30 psi and let the keg sit for 24–40 hours. Beer won't really absorb CO₂ until it's around 35°F. After 24 hours, pull a sample — not there yet? Let it sit longer.

Don't leave it at high pressure for more than 40 hours without tasting. You'll over-carbonate and get nothing but foam.
