Do you have enough Co2?

It's very important to make sure you have enough Co2 in your tank because "When you're out of Co2, you're out of beer" and that's a bad thing.  A safe formula for Co2 use is a pound of Co2 per 1/2 barrel of beer, which means a standard 5 lb Co2 tank should be plenty to dispense 5-1/2 barrels of beer. If your using 1/4 barrels, it should be plenty to dispense 10-1/4 barrels of beer. Wholesaledraft only sells New Co2 Aluminum Co2 tanks, our #0305, which when empty weigh 7 lbs (if you have a steel tank, weights will vary). If you were to weigh your Co2 tank after you get it filled it will weigh 12 lbs. So, say you have a party that you want to make sure you have enough gas for, remove your regulator and weigh your tank. If your tank weighs 9 lbs you know you have gas to dispense 2-1/2 barrels of beer. Of coarse the safest way to insure never running out of Co2 is to purchase an extra tank and then always make sure you get that tank filled!

Never running out of Co2 is a good thing!
