I also got the email that they had 3g cory kegs in stock

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

~$80 each. Ouch!

 

[JesseRC]

well if you are in the market for one them, which some folks around here are, its better than the new price and free shipping. Still $30 cheaper would be nicer.

 

[HoppyDaze]

~$80 each. Ouch!

no dout...are they lined with gold? filled with hops?

 

[Benny Blanco]

still can't justify spending that much on one of these as I would for 3 or 4 five gallon cornies. Though these would fit perfectly on the hump in my keezer. Somebody has to start making corny kegs in 3, 8 and 10gal sizes and sell them at a decent price, damnit

 

[nostalgia]

In for 2! Thanks

[JesseRC]

a 3gal keg is nice when you make 10g batches. You fill up one 5g, 1 3g, and then have some left over to bottle

The typical $30.00 price is for USED kegs that are no longer in service.

The NEW price for a 5 gallon keg is more like $120.00. The three gallon kegs were never made in anywhere near the quantities that 5 gallon kegs were.

Stainless steel is not cheap. The machinery to produce the kegs is also expensive. There really isn't the demand to make them in any quantity, any longer. I doubt you will even see new kegs, made in the USA, under $120.00.

A NEW 1/2 bbl. keg will cost a brewpub over $120.00 each when bought in pallet lot quantities.

The $80.00 is actually fairly reasonable considering how rare they are.

~$80 each. Ouch!

That's pretty much the going rate, they've sold in the Classifieds here for that more than a few times, and went very quickly at that. The only reason we get 5 gal kegs so cheap is because there's so many of them out there that have been decommissioned.

 

[Benny Blanco]

yes, I realize they are used kegs that are sold and that the demand isn't high enough. Still can't justify the cost compared to 5 gal. If I had money to burn I would pick upa couple

 

[jessup]

wow i had no idea the 3 gal corny's were so rare. a few years ago my swmbo got me one instead of a 5 gal corny and i guess was a sweet mistake.

they're perfect because you dont' need a kegerator. mine fits in my fridge so i just take it out and serve as necessary.

 

[Munsoned]

Must... resist... temptation...

Thanks for the heads up, OP. This one really has me torn.

 

[lamarguy]

They offered a $30 instant discount (per keg) last year with free shipping....If I recall, they sold out in less than 3 days.

 

[wh4tig0t]

Done and Done, thanks OP

 

[Flyin]

Just spotted this & came here to post it.

Its been a good day...

2-3g cornies - 160.00 (MoreBeer)
70qt Igloo cube - 50.00 (Overton's)
Being the guy that rolls into the party with two flavors on tap - PRICELESS

(edit - spelling)

 

[Flyin]

Its been about 2 hours... the 3g's are no longer on the B3 site.

Ha, unless you just bought them all, I can see them.

 

[Flyin]

Huh, I can get to them from your link but if I go from my favorites & search B3... nothing.

Oh the Mr.e's of the interwebs. My bad.

Link to the same thread this post is in.... Fail

Ha, it seems your "keg bunker" plan for the coming apocalypse is progressing nicely!

 

[Cpt_Kirks]

Uuuh, this sucks.

I have four of the 3 gallon kegs, and only two of them have beer in them now.

Yet, I feel compelled to order another one...

"You know, I could do with five of those, right?"

keg bunker is coming along nicely

self defense weapon check

now I just need to make space for the new conicals

 

[sully]

just throwing this out there. this website kegglebrewing.com is the only one i could fing that makes new 10 and 15 gallon corny kegs for under $300. i know amazing. and like 2 months ago they had the 15 gallon ones on sale for $200. insane! there other new kegs 3 and 5 gallon are pricey but i thought the 10 and 15 gallon are a good price because i have seen these things go on ebay for $400 and there is another website that makes new ones for like $600 i am saving money to get a 15 and a 10 gallon the 15 will be used to ferment 10 gallon batches and ocasionally serve 15 gallon batches. the 10 will be strictly serving. cheaper then a conical right.

My bad. There was another thread discussing this but I guess I have trouble copying and pasting. I'll go back to drinking now.

Someone with welding equipment needs to buy 100 5-gallon kegs ($20-25 each?), chop them down to 2-3 gallon kegs and weld them back together and sell them on this site for $40-50/each. He/she would make some decent money and make a lot of people happy.

It has been cussed and discussed here before. I think the bottom line is that it is WAAAAY more trouble than it's worth.

 

[nostalgia]

The kegs came in well-packed, clean and pressurized. Nice!

Also: this is probably the closest my mother-in-law is getting to baby pictures



Hey-oooo!
