So this is the new 2.5 gallon keg sold by homebrew.org. There was a thread on here about it, unlike the one sold by Williams Brewing, this one has the dip tube that goes all the way to the bottom, no extension needed. This is $79 for a limited time.
Definitely chinese made. Pressures up just fine, all the fittings work. Lid is a little odd...I did not check to see if it was interchangeable with other corny lids but at first glance I'm not sure it is. The other odd thing about it is the coating. It has some kind of shiny plating sprayed on it. I can tell because it kind of thins out near the posts. Inside, it is definitely stainless steel, more of a brushed or matte finish.
Anyway, it is thirty bucks or more savings over the 2.5 gallon kegs with the plastic bottom. We'll see how it works. And regardless of the quality of this thing, just a plug for homebrewing.org. I've ordered all kinds of stuff from them, great shop.
