Default How many 15.5 gal kegs......

How many 15.5 gal kegs should an average bar get out of 1 50 lb canister of CO2?

Thanks,

Josh

Rule of thumb is 1/2 lb.CO2 per 1/2 keg beer.It depends on how high your pressure is set,how full the tank actually is, etc. but you should get roughly 90-100 kegs from a 50 lb.tank

tapman is right on the 1/2lb for every keg but you must also take into consideration the temp of your cylinder if you store it in the cooler your yeild will be much less than a cylinder kept at room temp, and also if you leave your connectors untapped or tapped to an empty keg leave them tapped
