From G & G site (down the bottom):
http://www.grainandgrape.com.au/brewingsystems.htm

One Year rental agreement (required for any hire).
$15.00

9Kg Carbon Dioxide
$29.95

4.5 Kg Carbon Dioxide
$19.95

1.3 cubic meter Nitrogen/Carbon Dioxide mix
$29.95

So for the 9Kg it is $15 per year + $29.95 per refill.

For a 6kg cylinder I pay about $130 per year in rent and about $35 a refil I think (never had one yet).

Project for next month is to ring around Perth and find a CO2 extinguisher like others have in other states. The deals some of the brew shops over east offer seem very good and if we could get them over here I wouldn't bother with looking for an extinguisher ... unfortunately it seems BOC & AirLiquide screw us over here. :angry:

Ultimate air a selling cylinders that can apparently be filled by Chubb but at $300 for a 2.5kg it is a bit steep for me. Hoping to get a 6kg extinguisher for much less, if I find one I will post so other Perth brewers can use it as a reference (unless someone has done it already!).

Jason,
I was wandering around Bills machinery in Gnangara Rd. the other day and out the back he had some old CO2 extinguishers for $75.00

 

[JasonY]

Thanks Tony I know the place but it is a long way from me (Atwell) so I will try and shop close to home first! Will let you know how I go.

so if everyone is paying about the price i got quoted, why does grain and grape say its so cheap?
