Does anybody use this site.

I have gotten several things from them and I think they would sale
pallets of kegs if asked. Also you might just try calling Pepsi/coke
bottling locally they might have a bunch as they are starting to move to
a bag and box system instead of premix.

Hi all,

I don't have a tap setup, but I am tired of bottling.  A few kegs at a
good price might be just the incentive I need to get the rest of the keg
system!  I am thinking that 3-4 kegs would be a good start.

It's 25 kegs to a pallet, and your price sounds right.  Raw material
costs have gone up in the last few years so they might be a little more,
but I can't imagine it would be more than $20 each (just a guess).  The
biggest issue is that we need someone who can receive freight shipments.

Fellow Homebrewers,

I talked to a few people at the meeting yesterday about how it would be
nice if 
we (as a group) could order a crate of corny kegs. 

Now, I am not sure how that process works.  Who is our connnection...
how we go 
about ordering them... etc...  

>From what I remember hearing (I believe from Linda), the kegs come out
to cost 
about $15 per keg depending on how many lemons come in the crate (I also

remember hearing that it is usually around 10%)...  If someone with more

knowledge on the price could affirm or correct my estimate, that would
be 
swell...

What I do know is that the first step is to make sure there is enough 
documented interest to justify buying a whole crate (I believe a crate
is 25???)

So I am taking the initiative to get that ball rolling.  If you are
interested 
in purchasing a/some corny keg(s), please reply to me with the number
that you 
would like to get.  I will then work on finding answers to some of those

earlier questions.

Thanks,
