Corney kegs?

[jlatenight]

Hey guys, are these the kind of corney kegs to use with beer? I know there's a couple different types, ball lock, etc. they look beat up, a couple look broken... Should I snag 'em?

 

[brewd00d]

snag them and then send one to me!

 

[TorribleBrew]

yes, and then send to me for a thorough quality control analysis.

 

[TomSD]

Are those warning labels? What did they store?

 

[jlatenight]

They were for soda. A few of them still have soda in them

 

[TomSD]

Oh then that is perfect. If it was me and those were going for a decent price I would grab as many as I could get and recondition them.

They are probably OK. Make sure they have posts/poppets in them, and lids. They should have pressure relief valves on the lids too (if ball lock kegs). These look like ball lock kegs to me, but the picture is too small to tell for certain.

Corny kegs have been around for a long time, and as such most of them will look a little [or a lot] beat up. They clean up very well, and if you replace the 5 rubber gaskets on them, they work great for beer.

Get them, and send a bunch to me! What are they selling for?

 

[jlatenight]

Thanks guys. He sent me a video of the stuff for sale including a beat-up kegolator that I might buy too. Here's a better picture of the Corney lids, since the relief valve has a ring to pull, I think that confirms it's a ball lock, right? Trying to meet up with him, but he's hard to nail-down. I'm chomping at the bit!!

They look like ball locks with a pressure relief valve to me. How much is he selling them for?

 

[jlatenight]

Don't know, but I don't think he thinks they're worth much. He said make me an offer. I'm going to low-ball him....if I can ever nail down a time to see them.

Speaking of corny kegs, here's one on craigslist for 20 bucks. Seems like a good deal to me.

NOTE: I have no affiliation with the seller.

If he has more kegs than your interested in, I'd like his contact information. I'm looking for a couple in good shape. Thanks.

No problem old_mill, I'll report what I find here

 

[Hang Glider]

fyi, ball lock refers to the connecting posts. The other style is pin-lock, with pins sticking out the sides of the posts.

Snag 'em!

 

[Balto]

snag 'em!

[jlatenight]

Got 'em! And my car only smells a little bit like a dive bar.

 

[rasdas]

dang...great find....

 

[DirtyDirty]

How much did you end up paying?

 

[mattd2]

Care to let us know how much you paid?

 

[PistolPete2]

What Nebben said.

 

[ValleyBrew]

Looks like ther is one pin-lock in the group...front and center. No big deal though. I'm sure you can sell it and help off-set some of your cost since the rest appear to be ball lock.

 

[ValleyBrew]

Oh, and those kegs appear to be in great shape!

 

[jlatenight]

11 corney kegs, 2 without lids and one pin-lock. A beer meister that still gets cold and doesn't run loud. $175

 

[rasdas]

I'll say it again....dang what a find....
