A couple 20's one 10 and one 5. Yeah, the 20's are heavier but it's worth it. One of my old ones was steel. Swapped it for a lighter aluminum one. I bet it's been a year at least since I filled any. One is about to go but the 10 is sitting there ready to go.

I use my 20# for carbing, getting air out of the kegs, and for downstairs beer fridge serving. I think my lasts about a year or so doing this job. my upstairs beer fridge has the 5# which since it only moves beer around lasts quite a long time now.

50# tank? Sweet Jeebus.I have multiple 20's. I force when transferring all my beers and they lasted a good bit of time. Now that I use a 50 as a whole system tank it's even that much nicer.

Cost as much to fill it as a 20.50# tank? Sweet Jeebus.

4 - 5#, 1 - 20#.Ken I recommend closing the ball valve on the gas. Turning on the tank then turning it off. See how long the pressure is maintained. Found out one of mine (regs) is leaking.
yeah - I never leave the 20# tank open.

I stick with squirting star san. Works every time.
Not for me. Took about 20 minutes for the gas to leak out of my reg. I squirted it with starsan and couldn't find the leak. Most leaks you can find that way. A really slow one won't show up. I suspect Ken's got one that isn't easily found.

My 20# tanks last around 9 months every time. I have a small tank (3lb ?) its an old paintball game tank. I should get that filled for a backup.
