keg ------>keggle?

[tandpbrewing]

I doubt it. Just for the sake of argument Gas or Electric Coil or Electric smoothtop?

couldn't tell you, i'll be moving in a month or so and don't know what the range will be like there. Thanks for the response.

Keg or not, once you get above 4 gallons, most stoves can't keep a boil going.

Maybe not "legislatively," but I have no doubt that in some states, keg deposits are set by state regulators.

Ridiculous. Deposits are determined by the liquor store.

No really. In some states they are.

I googled it earlier and found that yes, some deposits are a legislated amount.

Once you see a keggle, you know darn well a normal stovetop will barely support the weight, empty. Outdoor burner is it.

Yea. I was hoping he wouldn't say Viking Full Commercial yadda yadda. That might be the only one.

I asked a guy at the gas station today if they he had any old kegs that were empty/unusable, he said he would sell me one for 25 bucks. He didnt speak english very well but assured me it was okay. Im not sure if he knows whats going on, i should assume that its not legit, right? I want to build a keggle but do not what to steal it, even though hes selling it to me its still wrong (illegal) to posess stolen items.

Alot of this is grey area stuff. Just trying to get the information out and people can decide what to do.

I think the thing that irks me and some others is the attitude that you can pay a deposit and that constitutes the sale of the keg. That's wrong IMO.

If someone told me they did that, I'd let 'em know how I feel and move on. I wouldn't harass anyone about it.

Actually the state does, if not then it is the distributor or brewer not the liquor store.

Yeah, I don't want to seem like a prick about this - but it's something that people need to be aware of and think about before deciding how they'll acquire a keg. The guy who found one in the trash by his apartment - no problem, IMHO. Paying an artificially low deposit on a keg and keeping it, without the intention of ever returning it? Not cool. eBay/Craigslist/scrapyards? Very gray - honestly, I probably would buy one this way myself if I needed another.

Just want to make sure that people know what the issue is.

I got my 3 kegs from a local micro-brewery/liquor store in Michigan. Don't know what shade of gray that is.

 

[the_bird]

If they were the micro's kegs, that's white, bro. That's the ideal.

 

[evanmars]

Not sure, but I'm thinking they were probably of the BMC variety.
