Why are kegs so expensive? I wonder how much it costs to manufacture them... I'm not arguing that these aren't good prices relative to others online but keg prices in general just seem high. I mean a 2.5 gallon keg for $112?

Look at how expensive a SS brew kettle is. Now add to it a compression lid, gas posts, poppets, o-rings, dip tubes, etc. There are quite few parts. |

Yep, a new Sanke will set you back $250 or so. We get spoiled because Pepsi/Coke (and their distributors) are stuck with thousands of corny kegs they've used for years, and now they're just trying to get rid of them. They sell them off for basically scrap prices, companies pick them up, add some markup to them, but we're still getting them for $30.
As to the smaller keg prices... well, yep, they use less materials, but they're also rarer. And there's a demand for 'em. I know I wouldn't mind a couple, but the price tag always stops me from pulling the trigger. (Why spend $200 on 2 3 gallon cornies, when for the same price I can get 7 or 8 refurbished 5 gallon ones from Morebeer?)

I'm tempted to save up a little $$ and pick up another 10g keg for fermenting. Do a six gallon batch and modify the dip tube to leave the trub behind. I love the one I use now but I can't do pressurized transfers because it's old as dirt and I can't get certain parts.

Yeah, the 10g cornies rock, but for the price, you're better off using a sanke and modifying the coupler.

Yeah, it bothers me that a 2.5 gallon keg is more expensive than a 3 or 5 gallon.
