9@5g - 2 full
2@3g

I need to get all the 5g's filled so I'm able to transfer to the 3g's in the MBDU (Mobil Beer Dispensing Unit) on short notice.
 
8 corny kegs and a legally obtained 5 gal corny.

I've never recalled Matt at CHI Company in Antelope Calif. ever selling any illegal corny kegs with the size of operation he has since he purchased the last whole Pepsi line of cornys across the USA then sold them to the public at a great price and condition. This was before the supply ran out and greed set in. Matt's a HBT member also and a prince of a person with high standards. After purchasing 24 corny's at his great low prices there's a reason why I kept coming back reordering more. I've never seen an illegal corny, what do they look like? Kegs yes check ebay you want hot kegs.
 
Just the one corny for now.

Looking to get another fairly soon.

the 2 will do me for a long time

That picture in your Avitar is trouble I can bet ha ha!
Grab all the corny's you can and not those by your LHBS
as they were purchased in bulk now making a killing off brewers knowing
they will dry up. Even buy more than you'll ever dream of filling, sell off
extras later you'll never lose money off them. Avoid those repops
from China, cheap for a reason. JMO's.
 
"ut shipping is a major hassle when time to sell them."

Why on earth would you ever want to sell them??? Montanaandy
 
I've got 23 ball locks and 3 pin locks. The pin locks are a pain, so I only use them for beers that I'm planning on aging.
Most of the time I think I have enough, but not always :mug:

I had two i bought used online originally. Then the brewer at my work gave me one without a lid, then he gave me two more when I started brewing again, had to convert one to a ball lock. So I was up to five. Then I got off my ass and called up the pepsi plant and got ahold of the dude who handles them there and found out they had for palettes of used tall challenger VI ball locks for $25 apiece and since having kegs makes me happy I bought ten. That makes me so happy I might buy as many as I can and horde them.:mug:
 
I don't need them all but I have 7. 3 are in the kegerator at all times and 1 or 2 are usually in the wings waiting for space. It's great to be able to brew a beer like a big stout and let it condition for months in the keg at room temps.
Don't forget to keep a supply of o-rings and parts for those times poppits go out of leaks happen.
 
30 5gal 2 10gal had a few 2.5gal, but not worth the effort. And I used to use a party pig!! Thinking about getting one, just to say I use a party pig!
 
I have 20 cornies I got for free, just needed to rebuild them. I keep four on tap at all times, and like to bulk age in the keg. I try to keep the pipeline full so I don't have to brew when it's really cold or blazing hot out. I keep five cases of returnable bottles around to keep the selection varied above only four.
I find when friends and family come over they are not interested in bottled beer and only want to drink draft beer.
 
I have 11, 5 gal ball locks, 1/2 have beer in them, Unfortunately the rest do not ! ! ! Working on that. For the 1 st couple years of brewing ,I only kegged. These days, I also bottle about 1/3 of what I brew. I think I have enough kegs???

:mug:
 
I have 4 and would like to have a walk in cooler room, or 2 at different temperatures. Through the wall and taps on the other side. 10 - 20 faucets would be nice.

I envision a 10 foot long drip tray along a wall with 20 faucets each with a different beer. :drunk:
