Anyone using old soda kegs?

[akervin]

Had someone offer to sell me two 5 gallon soda kegs that have had all the seals replaced!

Anyone had any experience with these kegs?

Just about everyone that kegs uses them

I prefer Pepsi pin-lock

I thought Coke was pin-lock and Pepsi was ball-lock.

You are correct.

Depends on how adapted they are to your set-up.

Well, yes, that's true. I guess I meant in their original format.

Just in case the OP is still with us...https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/ has all you need to know about those strange soda kegs.

I think the more logical question would have been:

Anyone NOT using old soda kegs?




I think everyone that kegs has had one. I just got two more in. I have 2 Firestones and 2 Cornies. All 4 had the O rings replaced and I just ordered a small kit of crap for when something goes down. Im a newb to kegging but the process has been simple. One "IN" nozzle on a corny was absolutely APED on, other than that it was pretty basic.

Answer- Yes

Don't we all? Buy them. You can definitely use them for beer.

just check the price against new unused cornys. ive seen some sites selling new ones for about the same price people are asking for referbished ones. i have been looking at kegging and in my area new just seems like a better deal the long run.

Uh, I guess I feel good that the majority of my posts survived the slaughter!!

To the OP, just be SURE those seals have been changed or you will have some foul tasting beer!
