Getting CO2 tank refilled in La Paz. Also sodastream.

Does anyone know where to get a CO2 tank refilled in Constitucion or La Paz? It's for my kegerator, homebrew.

Also, I have three empty sodastream canisters I'd like to exchange for full ones. I'll be in Constitucion and La Paz.

Thanks for any leads.

There is supposed to be a soda stream distributor in Los Barilles, who can exchange the CO2 cartridges.
Please let us know if you find an outfit, which can refill your CO2 tank.

Thanks, will do. Hopefully WalMart maybe does sodastream.

You might check at a commercial hardware/welding supply. I have used one in Ensenada for CO2 refills/exchanges for our craft beer dispenser.

There are welding gas suppliers in la paz co2 is available. MIG welders in the area all use it due to co2/argon mix not being available . Good luck with the soda stream. We have ours sent down.

Check the welding/gas store on the corner of Madero and Jalisco in La Paz! I have exchanged my 20lb CO2 there. They only exchange not re-fill!


Happy Trails!!

Also, Wolf Property Management in Los Barriles has sodastream stuff on hand ... dispensers, water bottles, CO2 bottles ... not sure of the hours, but open every weekday at least, maybe Saturday too, dunno ... it is in the same Plaza/shopping center as the East Cape Health Center, south side of the main drag off the highway at the barrels fountain ... just past the Oxxo and the Bancomer ...

I found out no one in Baja refills CO2 tanks, only exchange. The smallest tank to exchange is about 20L, so it won't fit in my kegerator. Going to drill a hole in the side and have it on the outside.

Please don't hurt the beer.....

The beer has the utmost protection. Having IPA down here is a huge bonus....
