CO2 tank refilling and hydro-testing

[Jmac00]

sounds like Brenton's is still the cheapest place.

[jeffsmith]

Indeed. These guys did in a pinch though. Was in and out and on my way in 10 minutes.

[Downs]

just an FYI
I know I mentioned it to one or two of you
but I've been working on redesinging the website for DB's
Only request I got was to add hours of operation to their site
anything else within reason I can pass on ?

Can't think of much offhand....maybe hydro certification cost?

[Jmac00]

yeah.....all the costs so no discrepencies (sp?)....mainly the cost for the hydro cert...and costs for 5lb, 10lb, 15lb, 20lb tanks ?

[Downs]

I can suggest those things fellas.
Although its a small part of their business they may not want to add, but it cant help to ask.

[Downs]

can't HURT to ask I mean't to say

Simplex rocks. $10 for 5lbs. Great people.

Exactly. $19.55 for 10lbs.

I went to Simplex a couple weeks ago, didn't realize it was cash only and didn't have any on me. The guy filling my tank told me no worries, just take it..lol

Luckily Becky had some cash on her, so I paid anyway. It was great service, fast, and friendly. I mentioned I was a Brewnoser and he said he's had quite a few of us coming in lately!

[chalmers]

It was in my original post, but I've made it more obvious for the slower of the group.

Seems like they are a great bunch of folks!

Seems to be the place to go for sure. I think that Co2 tanks might be a good place for our brewnoser stickers.

LOL. That's certainly the way to bring in the repeat business.

So this is really cool. Was just talking to Clyde at Simplex. I asked about Beer gas for stouts and after a bit of convincing said he`s gonna look into it and if hes allowed by the government to mix and fill etc. But he said he`s totally behind supplying gas for stout fawcets and he`ll mix in your tank no need for exchange. So Im definately a fan, he said like 1.80 per pound for Co2 so thats sweet. I highly recommend and he`s not averse to a few home brew , Im definately gonna bring him some. Nice to see people like him getting behind home brewers like this.

Are you guys talking about the Simplex Grinnell in Dartmouth. Do you know what their hours are?

That's the one - not sure of the hours though. I'd assume standard office hours ie: 8:00-4:00 or something like that.

[Tunny]

Thanks. Totally missed that that was covered in the first post of the thread.

[HappyHopper]

Any word on the beer gas issue? If I understand correctly beer gas is only for stout serving, not carbonation? So basically I would have one tank dedicated to stout and one for everything else?

[mr x]

Pretty much. There is some CO2 in beergas so you'll have minimal carbonation.

[HappyHopper]

Do you carbonate the stout with regular co2 first... Side question anyone use a digital thermostat??

[mr x]

yup and yup

[HappyHopper]

Where did you get the thermostat?

[mr x]

ebay

[Steve&ORChar]

last time i needed, they just refilled mine at the Sackville NG when Matt was there

[S-04]

Does the date stamp indicate that the last time this tank was tested was August of 92 (or is that January of 98)? How much can I expect to pay to have a 20# tank tested? Could I still use the remaining gas in the tank or would 20 year old co2 be stale?

Thanks!
