I sold off some stuff years back when I thought I was done brewing. I only have 3 five gallon cornies and one 3 gallon left. I saw a Craigslisting with homebrew stuff. He has cornies for $30. I might make a 90 minute drive this weekend and pick up 3-4.

if those cornies are in usable condition that's a great deal.

Guy says they're good. I'd hate to make that trek only to find POS kegs.
I do have a big bag of gaskets from McMaster from back in the day.

Picking 4 up tomorrow. I guess it's better to have too many than not enough. An added bonus is that he decided on a gas station to be the meeting point. Mapquest puts the station at just an hour and 5 minutes away.

The kegs appear fine. All are holding pressure.

And for no apparent reason, I also took the keggle with the valve and thermometer for $30. I don't need it but maybe I can trade it for a sack of grain at the lhbs.

Maybe it's time to step up to a 10gal batch with the keggle.

[Gusso]

Perhaps.

damn, 4 kegs and a keggle for $150? that's a steal.

 

it's nearly worth that as SS scrap

I was just thinking the same thing.

At $0.28/# you will need a lot more than a keg and 4 corrnies to make it back in scrap.  His price was good for what he got and could get that back quickly to other homewbrewers tho.

damn, it's gone way down since the last time I scrapped any, it was closer to $.75#
