Would a 10 lb co2 tank be better than 2 5 lb tanks ?
How do you store full corny kegs that are not tapped yet ?
You need to think of all the ways you will be using your CO2 in the future, not just now IMO. I use a 5lb tank for my 6 tap keezer and it lasts quite a while and I force carb with it as well. I haven't really kept track but Im thinking ~15 +/- 2 kegs dispensed + force carbing each. I keep my 5lb tank in the keezer and that's all it does: keeps 6 kegs at dispensing psi and force carbs fresh kegs as needed. I also originally had a second 5lb tank to use for my fermentation systems which is useful when dry hopping, purging kegs of star san, etc. You can see a pic of it in my fermentation system build in my signature. I've since switched my fermentation CO2 tank to a 20lb one and have swapped it once. Since I later bought this 20lb CO2 tank, I now keep my second 5lb tank on the side and full for when my keezer runs empty and I just swap it out. Then at my leisure, I go to my gas store and swap it. FWIW, CO2 is pretty cheap. You initially pay a little more for the extra tank itself but then you just swap them for another tank full of CO2. So, if I were you, Id pay a little more for 2 5lb tanks (like I did originally). as you will have a lot more utility for the other tanks use as you go down your home brewing rabbit hole lol. The keezer 5lb tank really lasts longer than most expect as long as you don't have a leak lol.Would a 10 lb co2 tank be better than 2 5 lb tanks ?

We’ll I have a big July 4 party every year. I envision myself with a 2 tap keezer by that time, but I’d like to have an extra 2-3 kegs ready to go when one empty’s. The kegs will not be ready at the same time hope by then to have a couple fermenters going at the same time

I naturally carbonate and leave the kegs in the basement at ~60 degrees until I serve them.Would a 10 lb co2 tank be better than 2 5 lb tanks ?

It depends on what better means to you. A 10 or 20 lb tank will be cheaper per pound of CO2 than a 5 and will be more convenient with respect to replacement frequency. They will take up more space if kept in a keezer.Would a 10 lb co2 tank be better than 2 5 lb tanks ?
