How long should a 5lb CO2 tank last?

[Fremont Brewer]

How many kegs do you guys think a 5lb tank will last me?

Thanks,
John

I usually get about 5 or 6...depends if I do any bottling from the kegs

Is the 5 or 6 for carbonating & dispersing or just dispersing?

Finally saved enough $$ to get a 5lb for dispersing in the keggerator only but will continue doing the initial carbonating with the 20lb in a fridge in the garage.

I think you may have a leak in one of you kegs. My gas lasts way longer than 5 kegs.

My first 5lb bottle has lasted me 7 brews so far.

My first 5# bottle lasted me for 6 kegs...I think. I'm not exactly sure, it's seems I had been drinking....I am on my second fill right now and thinking about buying an extra bottle to keep on hand for backup. I have only run out once, but it sucked severely.

nope no leaks...I also use a lot of gas for other things...I always fill my kegs before I add beer. add to fermenter when racking things like that...plus if I bottle with my beer gun I purge each bottle as well...it adds up...I could see easily get 7or so kegs out of tank...also depends on how full they filled your tank...
