Default Finally found a 10 gl corny keg
I went to the Hershey AACA swap meet and car show last week not expecting to find brewing equipment but I found this and took a chance on it since it was an older eye wash station wasn't sure if the poppets would fit



Looked nice and clean



and the fittings looked right


when I got home I took some poppets off a bad 5 gallon keg, some new o-rings and presto a functioning 10 gallon corny

The local U-Brew uses those, i asked once how much he payed for them, i think he said somewhere around 300-400 dollars each.

Ya, we have 2 of those at work. You wouldn't believe the price on them. Of course, ours have heaters and insulation, but pretty much identical.
