Co2 Gas Question

[troyedwards]

I know that my cylinder weighs 2.6kg empty. It currently weighs 3.0kg.. therefore 400g of CO2.

Question is, will this be enough to push two kegs for the next week with fairly constant use. My thoughts are no and that I should err on the side of caution and get it filled up.

Thoughts?

Well a 16g C02 cartridge is supposed to be able to serve 1x 19L corny keg. So based on that I would go with yes.

400g of gas should be enough but yes, you are running a risk.

I would expect to be able to push 10+ kegs...

Carbonating is a different thing.

That should be more than enough.

Qldkev has a calculator on his website that would come in handy, just check his signature for the link.

EDIT: Ouch, beaten by Stux by 30 minutes. Am I really typing that slow?
