Hi All,
I have been thinking about picking up an argon canister to sparge carboys, top off et cetera. The guy at my LWS suggested that a CO2 canister set up would work just as well provided I was willing to top off my carboys monthly.
The cost is about 200.00 for an argon set up and around 140.00 for the CO2 set up. I could also get the CO2 refilled much cheaper and easier (on my way home from work) than the argon.
So what do you think? Is CO2 a viable alternative?
