Currently paying $35 per refill in Virginia. I’ve read some places charge $25 but most don’t publish prices on their website. I tried making enquiries but some places have closed.
Anywhere cheaper? I’ll usually be filling 2x2.6kg tanks. Our family drinks about 5 bottles of very fizzy carbonated water every day so a tank lasts about a month. I’m not sure if this is about right for number of carbonations or if I should be chasing a leak.
Thanks!
Just checked with them, they don’t offer CO2
Did they recommend anywhere else?
Unfortunately no
I saw that thread. I’m around North Brisbane and frequently go up to Redcliffe so thought that there might be other options around here?
I'm feeling like there may not be any $25 refills in Brisbane
I just bought a tank for sodastream from Margate. Forgot the name.. The store is across the road from woolworths carpark. Next the $2 shop and a Chinese restaurant. Near the roundabout. I'm sure she said $35 for refill.
Also, from memory, across the road from the ox is a home brewing shop.
whatever you do youre gonna wanna get vaccinated!

I've just asked Direct Gas at Sandgate via messenger and will let you know when they reply. They seem to have really good service on LPG.
Not at this stage, cut they are hoping to in the future.
Maybe keep an eye on them.
I suggest that you ask at https://aussiehomebrewer.com/ where heaps of people buy CO2 refills.
I do, but am in Adelaide, so can't help, but if the number of suppliers in Adelaide is a guide you should have zero problems in Brissie.
Have you tried looking at Kegland's site for their distributors? That's usually a good place to start as they'll show some places that do refills and just contact them for a price.
Yeah, that’s where I started looking though a lot of places near me don’t do CO2, have closed, or their website/email addresses don’t work. I have called a couple as well.
Country Brewer is $34 for a 2.6kg co2 bottle. Stores in qld at Stafford and Jindalee.
Thanks @flagger. Just gave them a call.
Country Brewer Stafford
CO2 refills
2.6kg $34
6kg $55
Apparently they have a 10% off loyalty discount for repeat customers, so about $31 for a 2.6kg refill.
You drop off your tank and pick it up 24hrs later.
I got mine done at jindalee and it was refilled on the spot, took about 10 mins. I was told no loyalty discount on refills though.
Refill on the spot is worth a bit for the convenience - they did say that they can do it if required. I'll probably start going to Country Brewer since it's slightly cheaper and closer.
Just for comparison, in Victoria there is a sale on 2.6kg CO2 refills with this company and it is $20: https://www.kegking.com.au/2-6kg-co2-fill.html
I'm still on my first cylinder, but had looked into this when analysing the economics of refills. I was going to consult these guys: https://annerley-home-brew.business.site
