Hi all, I mailed aga.dk and asked about CO2. It *is* expensive. Here are the key points of our correspondance - I had to cut and paste a bit, and format a lot...

The price > for Food Grade CO2 pr. kg is kr.: 22,00. I did not quite understand the price structure, and asked for more details, also for non-food CO2. This is what I got: > Order no 1,8kg.: 101666, CO2 DIV.EJ-2,5 L(1,8 KG/CYL) > pris kr.:233,60 > order no. 8 kg: 101665, CO2 DIV.EJ-10 L(8,0 KG/CYL) > pris kr.: 230,30. > These prices are excl. payment for the cylinder. > To that you have to pay kr.: 1.600 once for all pr. > cylinder, to get the right to use our cylinder. > Are the prices including MOMS? No If I read this right, you'd need 1600,oo 1 cylinder (one-time cost) 230,30 8Kg gas (no relation to the 22kr/kg he mentioned) 457,58 MOMS 25% of 1830,30 = 2287,88 Total price to get going This is bloody expensive. Anyone have connections to get second hand bottles cheaply? Any other ideas how to get started? At this price I can life with adding sugar in my kegs, and let the beer produce its own CO2. -- Heikki Levanto LSD - Levanto Software Development <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
