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.

Maybe a reconditioned/converted keg???
Though the "covered up" in and out are in the wrong place for that...
Good luck?

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.

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...
