Yeah, not good news. I only got my bottle and contract last month, so I still have a long time to sort out an alternative. more than a 150% increase in the yearly rental makes me think that there are probably more attractive alternatives now.

I shifted over to a supergas deal about 6 months back. At least I don't have to pick up or drop of anymore and they do the large 22kg C02 and LPG bottles.

I looked at all the different ways of getting Co2, in the end I bought a new 5.4kg (i think thats it capacity) from MHB, its Mykegonlegs, easy simple no rent, I own so I can sell if I ever want and cheap refils (about $8 per kg),

I figured the money I have saved on beer (no comercial brew since before Christmas) could go toward my Co2, now Im up and running.
