For you Sacramento brewers, where do you guys go to get your CO2 tanks refilled? Or if you prefer exchanging, which of the local shops have the best exchange prices?
Google 'the brewmeister'. They have a shop in west sac, folsom, and roseville. I believe all other homebrew stores in the area have mixed reviews.
I have never gone anywhere else and I don't feel the need to. Brewmeister is awesome.
Solon Fire Control in Rancho Cordova off of White Rock. Filled while I waited for $24
Heya, yeah 5lb for $24

Just an update, I went to River City Fire Equipment in West Sac.
My 10lb tank only cost $23.76 to fill. I think I've found my spot for CO2 refills. The best part is they have 2 really sweet dogs in their office.
You found the correct answer. There's nothing better and the Brewmeister folks use River City, too.
FYI Bmeister is one of the only brew shops around that offer a 10% discount for being an AHA member. The discount pays for the membership fairly quickly.
Since it was 5 minutes away, I used to go to Handcraft in Elk Grove for exchanges. Now it is no longer a homebrew shop (changed to Flatland Brewing over the weekend; just a brewery now). I've exchanged at Brew Ferment Distill a couple of times; no issue and all the tanks have a permanently attached washer/gasket.

I wish there were better options on the east side. Solon Fire Control in rancho is the closest to me but they are about double the west sac places. It's not worth the extra drive though because it's a minimum 30 minutes extra if not longer depending on traffic (my brewing time is already so limited with a toddler)
That's where I swap my 20# tanks.I have some 15lb tanks and I've found the cheapest place to exchange the larger sizes is Barnes Welding Supply, otherwise try a fire extinguisher shop.
