I'm getting ready to put a keezer together and was trying to decide on corney vs sanke kegs. Do sanke kegs have less flow issues? I ask because a commercial kegerator comes with a certain length of line and coupler ready for the keg of your choice. I'm not sure if they experience foam or flow issues or not.
I have about decided sanke would be the way to go with less O-rings and fittings to leak. Also it would have the benefit of if I wanted to purchase something I liked other than one of my homebrews. I could just lock it in and go.
One problem I've found is there are not many used ones for sale and new ones are expensive. So I looked into the keg deposit at a local beer supplier for a 1/6 bbl and it was $30. So I assume if I built a keezer and just bought the first couple of kegs of my favorite beer I would have a empty sanke for $30 a piece. Sounds like a win/win. Am I missing something? Is there a downside to this?
