CO2 Gas

[deadlydes]

Didnt know where to post this but anyway.
i have found a supplier of CO2, its a fire extinguisher refill place. its super cheap and easy. you need your own bottle (it cant be an ex brewery one) but i could be an old CO2 fire extinguisher.
i think this disscussion was on here before but i cant find it so. what are your opinions on the grade of gas? do you only use food grade or do you use 'welding' grade or what?
opinions appreciated

The word on the steets seems to be that it's the same gas...

I thought the canister of gas in a fire extinguisher was tiny - like the sparklet bulbs type things. The majority of the extinguisher contains the water/powder/other stuff.

Speak to your local Calor outlet first. You may be surprised at how cheap their Co2 can be. I get 14lb cylinders for £10.70 each and they provide the cylinder
