where does everyone get their 15.5 gallon kegs? i cant seem to find any reasonable sellers online

Ask the same place in your town where you get full ones if you can buy an empty one. Or.....get a full one,, empty it with your friends, and eat the deposit.

they show up for free on CL every once in a while... but they go really fast!

i was thinking of the later, but i hear that is frowned upon by the breweries

Placed an ad on CL for wanted keg. Got a call from some dude who had 5 empty one and he sold them to me for $25 each. BUT this was after months of searching all over

Obtaining a keg from a liquor store and craigslist is technically not legal. I suggest calling/stopping by any local breweries/brew pubs etc... ask about damaged stuff.

Just last night I did see about 6 kegs being offered up from $10 - $80 on Craigslist.

I got all mine from craigslist, Distributor, and a brew pub.

Brew on

Keeping a keg for the price of a deposit is taking from the breweries. They are very expensive for them to buy. There are many threads throughout this site discussing this. Just use the search function and they will pop up. Buying them second hand from breweries is completely legal as long as they are theirs to sell. Good luck with your search

one of my local microbreweries tells my homebrewclub when he has some kegs to retire.

Ditto that. I had monitored Craigslist for months with no luck, then posted a "Wanted: Keg" ad and had 2 responses in a day. Seems a lot of people have them, but don't necessarily advertise.
