Greetings from Alexandria, MN! I'm a technical analyst at Verizon Wireless, and I just received my first brewing starter kit this November (2011), and have already taken quite a shine to the art of brewing. I actually found this site while Googling "Where can I get a Carbon Dioxide tank filled in Alexandria, MN" because I just got a Kegerator, 2 cornys, and a 2-tap tower. Super amped to get that up and running, but first I need to figure out which auto parts store in Alexandria snowcapt uses. Well, that about does it, but it's a pleasure to have a place to post and research all of my krausen and trub related questions.

Welcome! There's a pretty good crowd of MN folk here. For your CO2 supply just check out your local welding supply shop.

Are you a system performance guy? I'm in and out of the Bloomington MTSO all the time, installed at least 50% of the hardware there.

Welcome! This is a great place to learn and laugh about brewing. Brew strong!

Welcome!

Welcome to the Asylum!

Welcome, and if you don't hear from SnowCapt by the time you need that tank filled, just go down to the Douglas Co Jail at 509 3rd Ave W and ask him. He's probably gotten all kinds of connections in there by now. Like, if you need it filled with nitrous or somethin

Welcome to the big show!
I go to Rocket Auto for my CO2. It cost $80(I think) to buy the tank and it is $16 to exchange an empty for a full.
Shoot me a pm with your info, and we will definitely brew when I am done with my current incarceration!

Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm not sure who around here does welding supplies and such, but I'll look into it
