FYI - $10 ball lock kegs, w/out lids

[AJP]

You bought kids from ebay?

I'm kickin myself for not picking up some of these. Not too hard though, since beverage elements has them with lids for 20.

I can't find that deal, care to link?

And just to be sure, other than a busted handle this will work perfectly for kegging? Looking at getting started, just want to make sure I got the right stuff.

 

[mikeysab]

I never ordered them, but i'm probably going to order a couple. From the looks of it, they should be ready to go, just a messed up handle

Make sure you get a set of o-rings for it. Old soda o-rings always smell of soda.

I really detest shipping costs. For 2 kegs, its 17, for 3 its 33. Geez, that sucks. I'll order 2 when I get home

Thanks! Just ordered 3 for $91 shipped.

3 taps...now 3 extra kegs :rockin:

I figure if worst comes to worst I'll have to rig up some kinda brew hauler or handle device.

 

[mikeysab]

I haven't been kegging long, but even full I dont use botn handles. If thats the only defect, its fine by me

 

[mikeysab]

Just ordered 2 and some disconnects. Like I said, the one handle doesn't bother me, I"m just hoping that's the only thing wrong with them.

Ordered 2 a week ago. They were in good shape pretty clean. Would definitely order again.

 

[86turbodsl]

Now they're out too.

 

[mikeysab]

Good thing I got them when I did

 

[jonbutler]

Got 3 today and the looked great. No dings and very clean inside and out.

 

[Balto]

I scored 4 from Adventures In Hombrewing. Gotta say nice deal, and sonic shipping!!!! These are awesome!!! Will post pics tomorrow.

 

[Light700]

Be careful with these I got 2 that leaked from welds around the top so just check them. I was told they were sold as parts and after I emailed them that is when they put up the disclaimer. Also they did try to help me out and take them back so they do have good customer service. Just saying to watch closely for leaks.

I received 6 kegs in the mail on Tuesday. All look decent and the handles were actually intact. Haven't pressure tested as some of them will strictly be used as 2ndary fermentors. Fermentor keg lids with airlocks are just 9.99. Just made a 5th order today.

I ordered 2 of them as well. Have you found a good source for lids yet?

EBay. Mountain_man89 as someone mentioned on page 1. Got a 10 pack for $60 and 1 leaked. He sells them as singles too.

eBay! You can get 10 for $50 shipped. I'd go half with someone on the lot, as I only need 5 at the most.

Ill go half with you man. I'm deployed right now so it would be best if we sent them to your house, then you could send them to my address. Do they come with p/r valves?

 

[AJP]

There was 9 available just now, I added 3 to my cart, by the time I finish filling in my info they were sold out, that blows.

It said 9 when I ordered and that was not long before your failed purchase. Sorry that you didn't get in on it.

I'll pm you.

I used an Epoxy to repair a loose handle two years ago and it's holding to the point you can't tell it was ever loose. Don't fear a loose handle. Leaky relief valves are also a very easy fix.

 

[Chuckabrewski]

Just got these in the mail today. From the pics SWMBO took they appear to be in great condition, but I'll have to wait till I get home from this deployment to test them out.

If anyone happened to purchase a lot of 10 from Montain_Man on eBay and has 2 extra lids, I am in dire need and would love to purchase them. Otherwise, if anyone has 2 lids they are willing to sell please let me know. Thanks.

 

[dcHokie]

heads up, looks like they have these back in stock in limited quantities (20 left as of 4:30 pm EST)

 

[jawilson20]

Anyone know of a source for used lids? I am not seeing any on eBay.

 

[giraffeman]

Just picked up 4 and it still had 20 remaining?
Looks like Mountain Man (on Ebay), no longer has the lids. Any one have 4 lids they want to sell cheep?
