How Much Co2 Is in a Keg

It will take about 1/2lb of CO2 to dispense a 1/4 barrel keg (7.75 gallons) and about 1/3lb CO2 to dispense a 5 gallon keg (corny keg / sixtel).

How many kegs will a 5lb CO2 tank carbonate?

5lb CO2 tank will make roughly 85 to 132.5 liters I typically carbonate 5 gallon soda kegs, and depending on the amount of carbonation I’m forcing into each keg, I’m usually able to get between 5-7 kegs out of a 5lb CO2 tank.

How much CO2 is in beer?

A typical beer is 5 grams/liter carbonation, so about 90 grams CO2 per 5 gallon for carbonation.
