Hello,
Does anyone know where gas bottles can be refilled with Beer Gas Mix (70/30) in Brisbane?
Whilst there appear to be a few suppliers who offer rental services (i.e. BOC, Star Gas, El Gas, Jengas, and Supagas), the preference would be to refill the bottle/s that I already own.
Jengas will deliver you a D Size bottle filled with Beer Gas Mix (70/30) for $330 (incl. GST) and $110 (incl. GST) for refills. However, I would prefer not to need to purchase another bottle. Whilst a stretch beyond the budget, it would be better than committing to a rental agreement.
The D Size bottle should have a capacity of 6kg of CO2 (100%) or 1.8kg CO2 (30%). Based on the assumption of 6g/L for dispensing, this means that a D Size cylinder would dispense 1,000 litres (pre-carbonated at 2.65 volumes CO2) at 100% CO2; and, 300 litres at 30% CO2. I have not accounted for the dispensing pressure of the nitrogen, as I understand that it is rather negligible – 72x less soluble than CO2 (Brewers Asociation, 2020).
Based on that [very] rough calculation, it seems that it will cost about $20.00 in Cellamix 30 to dispense a 49.5L keg of Guinness.
Does anyone have any other suggestions about where to refill a gas bottle with Beer Gas Mix (70/30) in Brisbane?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Jake
