5 lb vs 10 lb vs 20 lb CO2 tank for a home kegerator: which size to actually buy
5lb for occasional pours, 10lb is the default for most home owners, 20lb only if you're running multiple kegerators. The cost math, refill economics, and decision flow.

Splitwise wins for general expense splitting. DrinkCountr wins for home bar drink tracking. The differences that matter, by someone who actually built one of them.
How much beer 15 people drink, what each pint actually cost you, and the chip-in script that nobody resents. With real numbers from a 4-year kegerator owner.
Every 2 weeks for daily pours, 3-4 weeks for weekend pours, plus a quarterly acid pass. Full frequency table, the cleaning method that works, and what skipping it costs.
Foam after swapping CO2 tanks is almost never the new tank's pressure. It's usually one of four other things that happened during the swap. Here's the diagnostic order.
Flat beer isn't 'no CO2 in the line', it's not enough CO2 dissolved in the beer. Different problem, different fix. The 5 causes and how the timeline tells you which one.
