$16 Corny Kegs (not mine)

[Pickngrin]

Yeah, though the shipping on these kegs is $19 cheaper...and then each keg is also a few dollars cheaper.

I just picked mine up Friday. They were all in pretty good shape. I spent under and hour fully dissisembling them and cleaning them out. Overall, I am quite happy with the cost savings.

I popped mine open over the weekend. They were just as nice as MoreBeer sells their used ones. They had a couple of small dents, but other then that I was pleased. Had to clean out the insides and there is some sticker residue on the outside, but definitely not 3-4 hours of cleaning time that some people are stating.

I'm sure they don't all look like the pictures I posted, just posting my experience. THey are still a good deal, I didnt say they weren't, but if your gonna post good reviews, you might as well post the bad too. There's a difference between selling used kegs and selling kegs that have been lying around in the mud for years. Staineless is easily cleaned, how much cleaning is another issue.

Best reason to buy these. They guarantee they hold pressure, which works for me. I stuff my kegs in a cold dark kegorator, so I don't really care if they are pretty or not. I love my kegs for who they are on the inside

Here we are, 4 kegs shipped to NJ for $85. They look as good as or better than any of the 8 kegs I've purchased from Midwest and Sundrop Bottling. They all arrived holding pressure.

I also asked a question in the "Notes" section of the order, and my receipt came with a hand-written response to it. A nice personal touch.

Nice! Thanks for the pics. I'm going to place an order today.

I saw this post on here for the $16 corny kegs from michigan. If I order in groups of 4 they are $20 each with shipping. I only want 2. Anybody else want any?

 

[khiddy]

I ordered a 4-pack shipped to Portland, Oregon, and they ran a total of $27 a piece, $8 cheaper than I can get them locally. They're due to arrive tomorrow or Tuesday, I'll post a full report!

 

[Pickngrin]

I too placed an order for 4 kegs and will post pics and comments when they arrive.

I think I will stick to the Bgrade kegs from Kegconnection. The 4 that I have already got from them, were in great clean condition, inside and out. Plus they even come with an extra set of Orings and seals. They are only a few dollars more and I dont have to spend any time cleaning them. Just rinsing them out and sanitizing.

 

[Mellman]

are those of you who have ordered from homebrewing.org having the same issue with missing dip tube o-rings?

 

[nostalgia]

Nope, mine had them. But it doesn't matter since I replaced them all anyway. O-rings are like $0.14 each.

No problem here either. I got 5 and they were all complete. Not that dirty either.

 

[Pickngrin]

That was fast shipping -- I ordered on 11/29 (Sunday) and received them today. The kegs don't seem any dirtier than others I've seen. No mud caked on (unlike the last 2 I had obtained from a different source). I definitely to do an Oxyclean soak (see the pic of inside of keg). The lid o-rings do indeed appear to be new. I'm VERY satisfied with my purchase. Thanks to the OP for letting us know about this deal!

Well, since I buy my brew stuff from Adventures in Home Brewing all the time (there is another LHBS closer by my house, but AHB are much better) I decided to get one of those Corneys too. I didn't really need one, but what the heck.
It was a good buy. It's kinda old looking on the outside, but after some cleaning and sanitizing I'm very happy with the purchase.
The most important thing is it looks good on the inside and it holds the pressure.
Actually I'm thinking now of buying a bunch more and switching to a natural carbonation in corneys.

PS. Just like the others have stated earlier, the lid O-ring looks new, but not the tube gaskets, they look old. I'm not sure about the gaskets around the posts, my guess is they are old also.

We're thinking on the same page.

I just bought 5, and my girlfriend is picking up 5 more soon. I am selling off my 3 carboys, and three buckets. Soon I'll be fermenting in kegs, secondarying in kegs, and serving in kegs.

The $16 price was just too hard to pass up!

And a closet of 10 kegs is going to look pretty good!

 

[claphamsa]

this is over

 

[khiddy]

Mine just arrived yesterday. They're definitely used, but all held their pressure, and after a standard dose of cleaning and sanitizing, they're going into the rotation.

Best part: one of them had green handles. I'd been thinking of dedicating a keg to root beer, and now I know which one!

 

[MultumInParvo]

Actually, you cant still get them for 16 bucks if you go to the store. Girlfriend just got more today.

 

[iparks81]

It depends on what type of financial sitch you are in....me...I'd clean the kegs myself and spend the elbow grease instead of the frog skins... but others might think differently, to each their own.
I'd still say "what a deal"...hop on the train if your willing to clean yourself.

 

[Mellman]

I ordered 14 of these puppies...two for a friend, the rest for me so i can get sorted out...even got a green one and a black and green one...so now i have a dedicated soda keg! All of mine were in GREAT shape and frankly...i'd be cleaning / sanitizing any keg i got from any vendor...these were in better shape than i was expecting. Only two had what i'd call 'major' dents in them, but the handles are all snug, and they all were pressurized when they got to my door!

Question though...for those of you who ordered recently, were they all cornys? I got at least one or two firestone kegs...I'm not sure if it's worth complaining about or not. it's kindof a PITA because i hate having diff keg parts, but maybe i can just find someone to trade with locally...

I got all cornys when I picked them up. But now I am kind of concerned that maybe my girlfriend may have got firestone kegs? I have yet to see them, I guess I can have her check when she's done with classes for the day.
