Finally a 3 gallon keg!

[knotquiteawake]

I've been waiting for one to pop up on Craig's List for a long time! I finally found a use for my Christmas money (I save any "gift" money for things SWMBO doesn't really see the value of).
$75 on CL. Not the greatest deal, not a bad deal, but just good enough to blow my last bit of fun money at.
Now I just got to finish rigging up my keg to keg transfer system and I'll be set to bring mini-keg to the party!

Thats nice - but if you run out after 3 gallons a 5 gallon corny would have been better (and cheaper!)

score!!!

Not bad, but if you don't want to wait...

I have 3 5 gallon kegs already, they are a PITA to move around and it kicks up the sediment. So the 3 gallon is to take a partial transfer from the 5 gallon, then put the 3 gallon in a little bucket with ice or my 5 gallon beverage cooler/mashtun and its party time whereever I need to be.

just in time! 3G portable keggers are awesome for spring/summer. Here is mine. The lid does go all the down, but it's just set on top.

Thats pretty awesome. Going to have to wait for next Christmas maybe. Just being able to bring one 3 gallon keg to shindigs is pretty awesome enough for me now.

Dang, that's the cheapest I've ever seen for new! I had the Tailgater out for a get together last Sunday but mine only holds a 2.5 gallon keg. Awesomeness none the less!

Depends on your circumstances I suppose. I got a couple 3 gallon kegs to get around needing a 10" collar on my keezer.

Those smaller keggers are crazy cool!

Can anyone please tell me the approximate dimensions for the 3 or 2.5 gal kegs? Height and diameter?? Thank yoU!

I have an RSS feed on my browser for Craigs list set to "keg". I check it several times a day.

 

[knotquiteawake]

pretty much just like this here. Just check it a few times a day. I'm always on top of whats going on with "keg" on CL.
