Fire Extinguisher as CO2 Bottle
- Take a few home brews to your friendly neighborhood fire extinguisher service dude.
- Come home with sound but discarded CO2 extinguisher (not out of date). Make sure you take out the dip tube.
Buy fittings, high pressure needle valve ($30 from Industrial Fittings Sales) and regulator ($75 from Victoria Fittings and Valves)
- Voila.
Ok so I haven't got it filled yet, all I need to do is bottle a few brews and visit the fire exinguisher joint again.
Since I only pay $15/year on my 4.5kg bottle rental, I am actually in no hurry. This is a deal I got through Brewers Den in Boronia. The bottle is an old steel one but hey it pretty much just sits next to the fridge and I have a soda stream bottle setup for emergency supplies as well as when I am travelling light.
