Where to get a keg and for how much $?

I am on the hunt for an old keg to turn into a keggle. Where have you had success finding Kegs and how much did it run you?

Try Craigslist, they pop-up all the time in most areas. Or your local scrap yard.

I'd expect to pay anywhere from free to 40 dollars or so, others can chime in on this!

This is a hot topic. I would mention in the Original post that you don't care about teh ethics behind buying a used keg or you will get many posts. If you care about that, you are looking at over $100 for obtaining a keg.

If not, I'd say go with your local college if you have one. or ask friends. OR buy a keg and throw a big party with friends, then just forfeit your deposit.

consult with your local scavenger / crack head.

i picked up 2 for $25

Any breweries nearby? They often sell kegs that they can't fix.

My point. There are already enough ethics debates on this on this forum. This guy just wants to know where we get them. Let's leave the debates in the other threads already done.

The Chi company sells them (legally) for $89 without shipping.... Not too bad if you're ethically bound
Otherwise steal them from a Fr*t house at 6am.
