CO2 Reg Question

[11amas]

Yeah, now I have a 5lb tank for traveling, pushing beer out of my conical, and for when my 15lb tank is empty; I love having two. My original single reg. lives on my little tank and keeps me from taking the dual reg. off of my big tank; manifold on the serving pressure and a single charging line for new kegs on the high pressure side. This hobby is a sickness and will cost as much as you can stomach! Lol

seriously are you disciplined enough to check it?

I wouldn't call it discipline, but I'm in the habit of glancing at it every time I'm in the kegerator, which is generally once or twice a week. Then again, I have a 20 lb tank, so I haven't actually refilled it yet.

Buy cheap regulators and save your money for a second CO2 tank. Eventually you'll save money and sanity by completely finishing the CO2 tank instead of refilling it when it is "close".

Better yet, get the biggest tank you can accommodate right from the start. CO2 costs about a third as much in a 20 lb fill as it does in a 5 lb, for example.
