I need kegs! Where can i get them cheap?

I Live in the Sacramento area and I need a couple more corney kegs. I'm looking for a place to get them so I don't have to pay the 50$ each my local home brew store asking. Any ideas?

Check this guy out. Good deal. http://www.kegglebrewing.com/Four-Re-conditioned-5-Gallon-Ball-Lock-Keg_p_54.html

Shipping for me is $61. Better to just go local and return local. $50 is not bad considering.

Yea that seems to be the problem. Shipping is outrageous. Wish I could find a hook up with a local soda company, that way I wouldn't have to pay for shipping.

Have you ever tried metal salvage yards? I found eleven 3 gallon corny's at local salvage at $20/each... great condition and the price unheard of.

most of the local cheap places have been cleared out. the chi company used to sell 4 for $80, but he got cleared out a couple years ago. your best bet now is probably either original homebrew outlet or the folsom brewmeister. $50 for a keg nowadays isn't too bad.

Ok, i make a monthly trip to More Beer in Concord to buy my bulk grain. They have them for 50$ also. Guess I'll just keep getting them there. Just wish I knew someone in the soda business....

does anyone know where [email protected] got his supply? He'd come around San Diego/LA a few times a year with a truckload of cornies and sold them for $35, good quality. He said his december 2011 run was his last.

shipping is $7 @ keggconnection.com whether u buy 1 or 10! I always buy my kegs there...

used to more used:fro: I ordered 4 and 3 look decent but the forth looks like it has been through hell and back. The seals work though and it doesn't have too many dents.

$50 at a LHBS is a good price

I recently took a chance on the $14 "clearance" pin lock kegs at CornyKeg.com. I got two of them--shipped for--44.72 total. The site says that the kegs have a "damaged handle", and they are not always available. Mine have intact handles that are a bit rough and look like they sat in the sun for a while. I've kegged 3+ batches with each of the kegs that I ordered with no problems. Each has held pressure and were clean when I received them. Could use some O-rings though, especially on the posts.

I can't find that site where they sell new 5's for $99 and broken handled used ball locks for like $20-$25 and used ball locks for around $37. I was about to buy there and forgot the website. They're shipping wasn't that bad either about $12 each with no CA tax. Anybody know what I'm talking about?

Yes:rockin: Good Job

Nice... Good info people, I'm checking out all these sites right now. I like the 7$ shipping at keg connection. What's the shipping like at the elements site? (forgot the site name, need to go back and look)

Depends on your location and number of kegs....for me like 20 for 4 kegs

One of my buyers backed out on the sale of my kegs. I have 4 left. You can check out the thread here... E-mail me if you're interested. If not, that's cool and good luck!!
