If you do prime with sugar, be sure to use kegs that seal up nicely with out a lot of pressure. I have a keg that needs a decent amount of constant pressure to keep it sealed. I dumped in the sure, and sealed it up with decent pressure, only to find flat beer with no pressure in the keg when...

I took the disconnect apart to see if I could figure out what the problem was. I had put the pin in upside down the last time I cleaned it. Luckily, it looks like I had broken off a non-essential piece of the pin. Lesson learned.

On pin locks, you would have to render the disconnect completely useless if you put it on the wrong post. Instead of a slightly different size, pin lock kegs use different numbers of pins on the bottom of the posts that the disconnect latches onto.

Over the weekend, I took a corny keg (pin lock) to a family gathering. When I tried to put the liquid disconnect on, it wouldn't go down very easily. I proceeded to push on it pretty hard (terrible idea, right?), and the pin in the disconnect bent. I tried bending the plastic pin back, but it...

Depending how long the kegs are going to be sitting warm, you might also want to naturally carb them with some sugar.

If you are using the standard size spigot, it will still take just as long. The spigot will still be a choke point that limits the flow.

I picked up the kegs today. All of them pressurized at 10psi. I didn't notice any soda smell from them. The tops of them could have been cleaned a little more (one of the lids had a sticky handle).

I ordered some from them for pickup as I live ~45 minutes away. Will report in after I get the kegs.

I personally don't like to chance it with bottles. If there is something wrong with a bottle that is out of the ordinary, I just toss it. A whole hell of a lot cheaper and easier than having to clean up a mess, and your mind can rest assured.
