15.5 Gallon Kegs

[Flow687]

Where is the best places to find used or new kegs locally? I live in a small town and in this town there is a Miller Brewing Plant and i still cant find one... or maybe i just dont know the places to look

this is very easy... go to yer local beer distributor buy a keg of beer.pay the diposit drink the beer and dont take the keg back..nothing to it

Hmmmmm, if you don't have the equipment to use with a keg won't it be expensive to throw away the beer, or you'll have to drink it flat like the english do ........


Flow 687, why do you specifically want a Keg ? You could also try to buy an old copper boiler. They come in various sizes. Try the scrapheap or place an add on the internet: wanted broken/defective boiler !!!!!

I got on the phone and started calling bars and liquor stores. Told them I was looking for a used keg. Everyone of them asked why. Told them I made homemade wine and wanted a keg to store and age the wine. Picked one up for $30, same as the deposit.

While I was in Dallas visiting my family for christmas, I found a brew shop in Richardson that sells empty half kegs for $12.95 . That was a walk-in purchase though. They metion having kegs on their site, but I didn't see anything about online ordering. It says to call or stop by. The one I bought had a special bonus....about a quart of old, nasty, flat Coors Light still inside...yuk

here's a link to their site:
