15 gallon kegs

I just saw an add for Sanke kegs for 75$.  Is this a good deal, or could they be had cheaper.

 

Great deal!
Get two or three!

 

Sweet



 

yeah jump on that, pretty much 1/2 price for market.

Can you buy me 2 or 3 and send them out to me?big_smile

A good friend of mine installs beer systems in Chicago, and he just bought a small soda company. he called me up a couple mos ago and asked if I could use a few pin lock cornies, I said sure! Well the package came in the mail today, I got 4 pin locks, all with new decklids, and  PRVs, and 8 pin lock QDs (4gas 4liquid) all for the price of a keg of kolsch. My instructions are to brew a kolsch, fill one of the kegs, and he will have it shipped back to him. Pretty good deal dontchathink?

 

Hmmm, sounds like to good a deal.  He's not using you as some kind of beer mule is he?

Ha ha

 

So are you getting any kegs?
PM I want the details because I may be in the market for another keg myself.



 

Wow, great deal.  I just got 3 Sanke kegs for 100$.  After I saw the post for 75$ each, the next day he was running them for 40$ each, and all three for 100$.  I currently have them at the house frickin awsome.
     He's a serious wine maker, and has oak casks quietly aging, and a whole cellar full of wine back to 97.  I gave him a Sixer of the African Amber, and he gave me a bottle of 2007 cabernet.
     I havn't yet decided how I want to do this, use one to ferment, and one for mashing?,  or make a kick ass RIMS system.  I didn't think that I'd ever be able to get my hands on one Keg, let alone three.  The bonus part is they still have the stems in them.  This is probably the biggest score of equipment yet, and now I gotta get to work on how to use them. 
     It will probably take a while to get the table and the setup together, but it seems a hell of alot closer to a kick ass system then when I first started all grain.

 

Just scored a 1/2 barrel keg from my friend.  It had Coors lite in it.  YUK!!!!!!!  My question is how hard is it to clean, it's been sitting in his loft for years (10 at least)  Have a beer meister my wife bought me years ago no problem cleaning it up, it's the keg I'm worried about. Do most LHBS have wooden bungs?

 

just got 6 for $90...  beat that!  smile
