Flat beer is a buzzkill. Whether you’re serving beer at home or supplying a busy bar, your kegerator’s performance depends on one thing: the CO2 tank and regulator setup. Not all tanks are created equal. Poor-quality gear can lead to leaks, pressure inconsistencies, or even carbonation failure.
I’ve worked with dozens of CO2 system setups through my own company Alizeecyl, supplying gas tanks to bars, retailers, and homebrew specialists worldwide. After speaking with experts and combing through user reviews across Reddit, MoreBeer, and homebrew forums, here’s my list of the Top 7 brands you should know about in 2025.

Taprite regulators are well-known for reliability and ease of use. Most users praise their consistent pressure output and solid build. They’re a go-to choice for both beginners and seasoned brewers. Some report pressure creep in older models, but newer versions have improved.
Why it’s on the list: Affordable, durable, and widely available. Taprite sets the standard for budget-friendly quality.
If you want professional-grade stability and minimal maintenance, Micromatic is your brand. The regulators are robust, easy to adjust, and ideal for bars or setups with multiple taps.
Why it stands out: Users prefer it over Taprite for its industrial durability and smoother dials.
Micromatic gear does come at a higher price, but it pays off in long-term use and fewer adjustments.
Cornelius is lesser known in the retail space but beloved in pro brewing circles. They build precise regulators with minimal fluctuation and outstanding longevity.
Why it’s special: Cornelius regulators are built for precision. They’re especially useful if your setup demands exact PSI control (like nitro beers or special brews).
Kegco doesn’t just sell regulators—they also offer aluminum CO2 tanks that are lightweight and corrosion-resistant. Their 5lb tank with a CGA-320 valve is a fan favorite for home setups.
Why we love it: Tanks come hydro-tested and certified, made from 6061-T6 aluminum, perfect for tight kegerator spaces.
MoreBeer is both a trusted retailer and a house brand. Their CO2 tank offerings span from 2.5lb to 20lb, with aluminum bodies and fast shipping.
What makes them great: Their tanks and regulators are consistently rated well, and they’re one of the easiest places to buy everything in one order.
KOMOS tanks are newer but growing in popularity for their premium appearance and consistent pressure delivery. They feature high-polish aluminum, US DOT certification, and CGA-320 valves.
Why KOMOS is on the rise: Looks great on display, ideal for brewers who also care about presentation.
Why Aluminum CO2 Tanks Are Preferred for Kegerators
Most tanks on this list are aluminum—and that’s no accident. They’re lighter, rust-resistant, and easy to move in and out of fridges. Steel tanks are stronger but not ideal for casual users or humid bar environments.
Common sizes:
5lb: Ideal for single or dual tap setups
10lb–20lb: For commercial setups or multi-tap systems
Final Words: Choose for Your Setup, Not Just the Brand
