Assume the hydrotest is outdated.

Should we assume a size too?

Oops. 20# steel tank.

$30 would be a steal.

on ebay you'll pay a little under $100 typically (after shipping).

Got my 20# for around $60 but it was pretty beat to shit. Hydro was outdated too. However, it was full of gas that lasted for 3 years or so.

I assume you've seen the ad too? lol Or was that just a really good guess?

Yeah, I already have a 20# tank, and haven't had to refill it since I started brewing, but I got to thinking if I ever have people over and it runs out, I'd be SOL.

A guess. If it's $30 I'd jump on it. Keller Fire and Safety is pretty reasonable about they hydrotest and refills. I think a spare tank is almost a must. Who's selling it if you decide not to? I don't really need one but would buy it at that price. eta Nevermind - found it. There's one at a Garage Sale too. Search "CO2" on CL

sorry - I should have said this is with a recent hydrotest date.

I bought my tank from this guy on Ebay. The guy that runs the account is actually the VP of https://www.sparklingcarbonic.com It's about a 20 minute drive away from me, good guys.

I generally pay 20-30 for a used 20# tank with an out of date hydrotest. I now have a number of tanks, and go through a decent amount of CO2 now that I think about it. I highly recommend having spare tanks, and I always have multiple tanks that are filled ready to use. I generally get tanks refilled when I have 2-3 tanks empty, so I don't have to go as often.
