where to buy sanke kegs

[ggenovez]

Hi all,

I noticed that most of the RIMS systems use old sanke kegs.

Where does one get them?

Thanks

George

try www.kegs.com.......
or ebay, or a local distributor might let you buy some.

Where do you live?

I'm in Bedford, Tx, DFW metroplex.

I checked out kegs.com. Cheapest they have is 50$ I imagine another 50 gets you shipping & handeling? I can probably find one precut for that price localy.

ebay seams to have soda kegs but not sanke kegs.

local distributor? can you elaborate?

Thanks

George

I just picked up mine at Homebrew Headquarters in Richardson $90 ready to go just need a ballvalve. I think Kelly the owner? said he could sell the kegs for $30 for the do it you self type.
I work in a fab shop and could have done it myself, but I didn't like the idea of mixing buisness with pleasure

So it sorta sounds like Sanka coffee... but with an E on the end?

I already knew about wurt from reading Better Beer & How to Brew It (outdated book, btw). Thanks.

Well this thread is wicked old but I have been looking for a sanke to make a keggle out of and it's been a PITA

I am in Burlington VT so I figured magic hat might be able to help me out but they get their kegs from Microstar. I couldn't get a hold of anyone there but they are based out of CO so I'm not sure if they will be able to help me out. I guess when I get home I can check out kegs.com

Is kegs.com the best way to go? I tried scrap yard around here and none of them have em. I could wait for craigslist but I don't know how long that will take until one shows up.

Anyone have other suggestions?

post a wanted ad on craigslist . Most people dont advertise that they have a keg and can't return to old missing receipt etc.

I also have been watching Craigslist, but I also watch for cities that are within driving distance for me. I am 15 minutes outside of Nashville and I will be driving 2 1/2 hours to pick up two, hopefully within the next 3 weeks. I also had my brother-in-law pick one up for me, and he is in Jacksonville, FL. I get that one this weekend. If you have family or friends in other states who plan to visit in the near future make sure you look at what is around them as well. Just my .02

 

[Zeitgeist747]

Well the local distributors don't want to sell any kegs straight from their hands. I think I will call some frat houses and see if they have and laying around. Looking for 15 gallon sanke if anyone has one I will pay

If I remember my German lessons correctly (from 40 odd years ago), vorlauf should be pronounced FOR-louf . Yes, the v is pronounced like a f, and the last syllable rhymes with loud.

Oh, and wort should be pronounced vurt, with a v, but it ain't.
