CheekyPeak Brewery 6.8kg CO2 bottle (Brew Mate)

[Proffs]

Hi guys,

I'm looking at setting up a keezer and have been trying to find a cheap gas bottle. Saw these on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261237346002&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:AU:1123

$208 plus $34 postage FULL of gas. Anybody got one of these? I think cheekypeak might even be a member here. Next cheapest seems to be Keg King @ $249 but its a smaller 6kg bottle.

Should I tell Santa I want one or keep looking?

Yep, order directly from them.

I have one I got off ebay from them, before I knew they had their own site. (I think mine is 6kg). But they are great to deal with and really helpful.
(Also the cheapest sodastream adapters I've seen anywhere)

Where do you get them refilled in Brisbane?

 

[Proffs]

I would presume most home brew shops would refill them right? Maybe a little negotiation on price for an abnormal size bottle tho...

Filling your co2 tank seems impossible in sydney (not shure about bne) but you can swap it for a refilled one at afew stores.

Else try, fire extinguisher shops, aquarium shops.

Anywhere that boc gasses supplies wont fill your tank up, unfortunatly those buggers have a monopoly on the system

Proffs , I'm keen to find out who will refill them as most home brew shops on the north side will not, they only have the keg on legs swap and go system. You will also then have to get the cylinder rechecked very couple of years (I think it's about 5). I also found that some home brew shops wouldn't even swap the keg on legs brand if you didn't buy it from them, I got a second hand keg on legs cylinder thinking they would swap it but no (so I don't shop there anymore). CB does swap the keg on legs if you haven't brought the from them, that's why I got my second 6kg from them, (about $340 full and $50 for the refill swap and go never have to worry about rechecking etc) I knew there would be no problems.
I have a mate you wants to get into kegging and that price you found is great and if you can get it refilled easily even better! Please post if you find somewhere and the price as it might be cheaper than the swap and go system

North or South side?

North side there is a Brew By U place in Brendale, they refill on the spot for $65 for a 6.8kg bottle, they don't care about brand either, no one else around will fill my ex BOC cylinder.

You must have been typing at the same time as me! Thanks Donske!

I think quality home brew at slacks creek fills them. Says $45 for 6.8kg on their website. http://www.qualityhomebrew.com.au/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=13&zenid=jorpt0j1vjss4e088rmtq9one1

 

[Natdene]

That's great, give them a call, (not for me I'm north side) also I checked and it's every 10 years you have to get the cylinder tested. So if you do the sums for 10 years and say filling once a year @ $45, and say $50 for testing, you end up $100 cheaper than a my keg on legs.

Jeff at Home Brew shop at Cleveland refills 6.8kg bottles for $50 while u wait.

Most aquarium stores fill co2.
I don't know a LHBS in Sydney that doesn't swap co2 bottles

Found it, 38$ to refil a 6KG is dirt cheap!
