WTB Pinlock Kegs

Hey everyone,

I am in the need for a few more pinlock kegs. Does anyone have any they would be willing to sell or trade?


Thanks,


Nic

How much?

80 plus shipping

Thank you for your responses. I would really like a 3 gal pinlock keg however I recently purchased a new 3 gal ball lock. So I truly don't have a need for another 3 gal.

I really think 3 pinlocks would fulfill my need however I am open to possibly more.

How about a trade. My 3 gal pinlock for your 3 gal ball lock. All my other kegs are ball lock so just want to make them all the same.

This does interest me. In what condition is your pinlock? My balllock is in like new condition. Really I have only used it a few times to pump sanitizer through my beer lines. No dents and very little scratches.

It's in good condition. No dents a few light scratches. I will take some pics in the morning and post

I will do the same. Sounds great. Thanks

Here are pics of the keg

Looks great. Could you pm me your email for my pics. I don't know how to add pictures directly to the forum.

Anyone still selling any?

Here are my pics of the keg.

Were you looking for ball lock or pin lock corny kegs?

I'm not sure, I know they are different. Is one more common than the other?

Zimman,

Check your PM about keg trade.

I would say with much confidence ball lock is more common however as you can see I prefer pin lock. I guess you can say I've always been a coke fan. Lol.

Honestly though pick one type and stick with it. When I started kegging I purchased both types so every time I change kegs I had to change fittings. Just gets annoying.

Good advice, I'm gonna start looking for best deals.

Pin lock is usually easier to find and is cheaper too. The keg sizes are slightly different too. Pin lock are an inch or two shorter and a little fatter. Also most pin locks don't have a relief valve in the lid. Other than that they both hold beer and spit it out a tap so go with what you find. Ball locks are becoming harder and harder to find nowadays.

So just forums and craigs list it?

Really I think that's the best. Buying on here I feel I can trust more than Craigslist. Home brewers buying from home brewers. That's just my opinion.


I did just discover a company selling pin locks on ebay. Looks like a pretty good deal. Again I prefer to deal with a home brewer first but this looks to be a great back up option.

Bump.

Cheers,

Do you have 5 gallon ball locks that you'd like to trade? I have two pin locks but they have been converted to ball locks. Not sure how difficult or expensive it would be to convert back. But depending on shipping cost I could possibly trade. My kegerator fits ball locks much better than pinlocks.

Zimman where are you located? I have a few extra pin lock kegs that are just sitting around.

Thanks for the quick reply. I think I'll pass this time. Thanks though.

Take care.
