Here's the IPA Barrel Crew as I understand it (I will confirm as I get replies):
1. Me - Confirmed
2. Madman - Confirmed
3. Digdug - Confirmed
4. whoneedsabeer - Confirmed (may not brew at Joppa on the 16th)
5. Ryan (guy from work) - Confirmed
6. James (guy from work)
The barrel is 30G (based on what I was told - I need to confirm but that looks about right). I have it soaking in a holding solution now of potassium meta and citric acid. It is not leaking or anything so I think it is in good shape. I figure each person will have to put in 5.5-6G of beer that is already primaried to pull 5G from the barrel. I would like to have an additional 5G for top up beer as well.
Here is the Green Flash recipe from Can You Brew It podcast, I will scale it to 12 G and add the beer smith file later:

I'm definitely in for contributing to the barrel.
Of course 19-JUN presents me with another schedule conflict, so I'll have to see about getting a sitter for my kids.

That would only be fair, since I "blessed" your fermenters on meade day.

If you wait until the end of brewday, it might actually add some interesting flavors.

Just found out I'm able to attend. Whoo HOO!
I also just found some ball lock kegs for $30 each. I'm going to try and get the guy down to $20-25. Anyone interested at these prices?
Let me know.

30$ seems way too much...
$30 is a lot for sure. If you get down to $20, I'm in for 3-4 more I think.
Are they reconditioned?

I belive the ones from Insco2 were about 26$ after shipping... I would take some more at that price

By reconditioned, do you mean cleaned out, with fresh gaskets and o-rings? I'm not sure.
The guy I found has an add on craigslist. He's up in Central NJ, and his email signature has both a winery and a brewery's name in it. So I guess he's used them, so hopefully they don't smell like that crappy disinfectant that pepsi uses.
I'll ask him about the status of them.
I'll also make him an offer of 10 kegs for $150, just to see where he is with his price.

Ok - The guy from central Jersey didn't pan out.
But I was able to find an alternative.
How does $20 per sound to you guys? They're in good shape, not re-conditioned though. They hold pressure.
I've got 6 I can part with, but might be able to get more if there's interest.

I'd probably be in for 2, maybe 3 by brewday.

you can never have too many kegs.... ill take 5 if they are 20$ a pop
I would be in for 2 also. I prefer the single-handle kegs if there are any of those.

Weird, I stopped getting email notifications on updates to this thread...
I'll see what I can do about getting more. Shouldn't be a problem by brew day.
I don't have any of the single handle kind, but I'll see if the guy can get his hands on some.
Anyone else?
