What kind of kegs are these?
 

Help... I'm new to kegging and just got my first kegs. I got a deal on three of these soda kegs on craigslist. When I showed up to pick them up, they were not pin lock, ball lock, or US Sanke. See pics. I went ahead and bought them because they were cheap and in great condition. I know that they were used for homebrewing in the past because there are beer styles and dates written on them. The guy I bought them from didn't know. They were left in the house that he just moved into. I'm guessing they are European style 1/6 barrel commercial kegs? What type of kegs are these, and does anyone know what exact type of couplers I will need to purchase? will I be able to find couplers and fittings for them? Does anyone have any experience with these? Any info would be great.

pub keg, looks like European sanke, def not the standard us type D.

Hoff-Stevens

Maybe a reconditioned/converted keg???

Though the "covered up" in and out are in the wrong place for that...

Good luck?

one of these



someone will know

Nope. ajwillys had it right, that's a Hoff-Stevens fitting right there, that needs one of these couplers...

Cheers!

Thanks ajwillys and day_trippr. Definitely a Hoff-Stevens. That's stamped right on the top; didn't know it was important. Thanks for sending the kegworks link. That's definitely what I need. Do these work well? Does anyone have any experience with these?

Wow...ONLY $75 plus shipping for EACH keg to get the right coupler?

I hope you got those kegs for free...otherwise re-hock them. You're gonna pay twice the cost of a cornie just for the coupler. :mad:

Yeah, That $75 scared me, but there are quite a few to choose from on ebay for much cheaper. Some are bidding very low. Guess not a real hot commodity.

Ahhh but you only need a couple of couplers depending on you set up... Corney kegs are getting hard to find at a resonable price,,, I know I have 20 of them...
