I am in the market for more kegs. I've been scouring craigslist to no avail, and I am getting lower on empty kegs than I would like to be.I just ordered 4 kegs from corneykeg.com for right around $30/keg including shipping. Ouch.It was the best I could find, especially since the site I found to buy a pallet of kegs stopped responding to me a while ago (would've been around $23/keg shipped).Any good online sources for affordable kegs with shipping?

Jesus, man. How many do you need!?!?! Leave some for the rest of us!!!:stabby:I've definitely had the best luck on craigslist. Seems like most HBS' are in the $30 range nowadays. You should consider going to Sankes. Either that or drink more. Maybe bulk storage tanks? 100 gal SS tanks? You could probably find them on used industrial equipment sites.

The size, weight and cleaning difficulty of Sanke kegs is what keeps me from them, also finding reasonably priced ones in good condition that are legal - that is a different issue altogether though.I have been asked to provide beer for weddings for two friends for this calendar year, and I need to brew quite a bit for them, so I want to make sure I have enough kegs for all that I need to brew.I really wish I had money at the time when adventures in homebrewing had kegs for around $11/piece plus shipping 6 years ago or so.Plus, I want to get into the triple digits for number of kegs. Haha.

check Craigs List: https://atlanta.crai...2385842579.html

Yea, I saw that listing, but it says only good for parts, and it is also in fayetteville, which isn't as close as I would want. I've been scouring craigslist for months now, and haven't found a decent deal recently. No good online sources?

Maybe set up a group deal in your area for some of these pin-locks: https://www.chicompa...oducts_id=693We did a group deal from Canada to Denver 2 or 3 years ago and they ended up being about $14.50@ including shipping.

If its like that picture shows then there are around 1000 kegs in a container. 100 in the picture stacked, they are around 2 ft long so thats 1000 max in a 20 ft container. Thats a lot of kegs.Cheers,Rich
