Good to know. Had a leak in my system and the tank I got last week ran dry 😣. Got a new one yesterday. If it happens again I'll try them. It's about 25 with the BN discount at Noble Grape.

You have an address or number for Johnson Controls? Also, did you have to call ahead of time to set up an appointment because of COVID?

First time filling up since Everwood's passing. For Don Brenton's are we talking Beachville industrial park? Do they normally fill while you wait?

Water n Wine in Truro is filling for $4/lb. For now they're simply transferring from a larger tank so you don't always get a completely full tank but if you take the tank in cold, it'll be close. And you only pay for how much they get in to the tank. Usually next day pickup.

Anyone know where we can get beverage grade co2 as homebrewers. The standard for the food grade is less than 30ppm of 02. I’ve been thinking about spending the extra money for the beverage grade if it is available somewhere.
