15 gallon kegs for homebrewing???

I would think your only other concern would be cleaning it. Pop the valve to flush / sanitize, fill, re-install valve to pressurize.

well that is what pbw is for... or oxyclean

That 15 gallon ball lock keg is $377. The keg.com sankey is about the same price.

I manage a restaurant in central florida so I looked at our receipts from the beer distributors. we pay for the price of the beer (usually 86 -144) plus a deposit for the keg. the deposit is credited when they pick them up. Our deposit is $30. I gave the owner 30 bucks and I took home a nice clean sam adams one. if you have a friend in



the restaurant biz it may be worth asking them.

Too Bad these guys won't sell to homebrewers...... PubKeg

Or these guys...... Plastic Kegs America

Also way to many arguements about desposits and such on the kegs, deposit is not a purchase.....just saying....

 

[ScoobyBrew]

Yeah that is true. It is definitely a gray area. At least I didn't steal it...

I have read here that in new york, at least, the deposit is in fact a purchase. Search for posts by airborneguy. He's an nyc cop iirc, and he bothered doing some research on the matter.

As I said way to many arguments I am in Illinois and I know here at least the deposit is a security return guarantee not a purchase. So here it would not be purchased. There are fifty states and plenty of territories each has their own unique laws

Kind of resurrecting an old thread, but does anyone have any experience with this 15.5 gallon homebrew keg? Looks like its a D coupler but the spear just screws into place. I'm wondering how well it seals and how easy it is to use.
