I have some great 5 gallon Cornies for $20 each. I've noticed that UPS discounts the shipping in bundles of 3. Thank you.

Price: $48.00
Pros: Works with many kegerator systems.
Cons: Sometimes has a hard to get rid of soda smell.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Good for the price but the prices on used Corny kegs are steadily rising so I probably won't buy any more of these for a while (I have 5). The insides can have sweet odors which take some Oxy Clean to get get rid of. On the outside the black rubber may rub off on your hands so be careful if dumping one out if you're in the process of sanitizing other equipment.

Price: $15.00
Pros: Easy to fill, easy to clean
Cons: ball lock fittings are plastic and kinda clunky vs. commercial couplers
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Cornelius kegs are easy to fill and clean, seal kits are very inexpensive and they fit well into chest freezers and refrigerators. Don't pay too much attention to the outside appearance, it is the inside that counts The pepsi kegs (ball lock) are more desirable than the coke style kegs (pin locks) and are also getting harder find. If you come across a good deal on some cornelius kegs my recommendation is to buy them all.

Pros: Kegging is so easy.
Cons: Haven't found any so far.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I have ball lock kegs, picked them up pretty cheap on craigslist. I am always looking for deals on CL to benefit from others either discontinuing brewing or upgrading their own equipment.

Price: $220.00
Pros: Easy storage and transportation. Great for beginning brewers to get into kegging (cheap price).
Cons: N/a
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I was looking for an easier way to store/carbonate my beers than bottling. Being that I was a beginning homebrewer I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a kegging setup just to learn on. I ended up paying $220 for 3 5gal corny kegs, 5lb CO2 tank, dual regulator, replacement o-rings/valves, party tap, 3-split line, and individual lines with needed attachements.

Followed a few youtube clips and post on these forums on how to keg/carbonate and everything went perfectly.

These things are easy to clean and care for. The hardest thing was getting all the left over glue from the labels off the outside (inside came cleaned). Needless to say I'm very pleased and would recommed these to anyone wanting a good beginner setup or a setup for someone who brews smaller (5 gal) batches.

Comments: Great keg for a first time homebrewer, I'm just getting into homebrewing but the corny keg is definitely a great buy and you can fit multiple ones in a smaller space, bought on craiglist

Price: $39.95
Pros: No more bottling!
Cons: Some maintenance required from time to time. Gaskets, O-Rings, etc... Not easily transportable, CO2 Required.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Aside from not being easily transported like a 6-pack, Corney Keg's are great! You can use them as a secondary fermentation chamber in a pinch, force carb instead of using priming sugar, and dispense beer all from the same vessel.
