Co2 supplier Oxfordshire

Went to CTC Witney today to refill co2, and unfortunately they are closed. It was so convenient as I live in Witney.
Anyone knows where I can get a 36kg tank refill around Oxford?

Re: wheat beer recipe advice

I would suggest wlp380 (more phenolic) i liked it better than wlp300. People say dry hefeweizen yeasts are not half as good as liquid.

Craft Beer Rising 2017

Anyone going?
I went in 2015 and it was great, but this year it seems a tad expensive late tickets for Saturday are 22£ and you wont get any free tokens, only a glass.
Then I am not sure if the beer will be at reduced prices?

Re: Co2 regulator problem

On a closer inspection it had a leak where prv is screwed in, so I added some tape and screwed it back in, and it fixed the leak. Prv seems to have a additional screw which apparently adjusts spring pressure in it, it had screwed out just a little so after adjusting it, it seems to have worked and p...
