Need ball lock corney keg, best site?

Hi all,

I just got an early christmas gift…Kegerator! I already bought the kit to convert to ball lock, but now I need to get some kegs. Looking forward to kegging.

Northern Brewer seems to be out. Morebeer just got a shipment in last week. The run $49.99 with free shipping. Have fun!

Keg connection has them for 40 dollars and they do 7.99 flat rate shipping

Check recycling centers…I picked up a corny for $1/lb, they might not have them very often and you’ll have to search a bit, but you can’t beat a corny for 9 bucks!

Thanks for the responses so far, now I have to decide what site to order from.

If you can fit the pinlocks that have been converted into ball locks in your kegerator, you can get a 4pack for around $120. Just remember that they usually do not have the pull ring PRV and have a static relief valve instead. Although, you can replace the lids or add a pull ring valve assembly replacement. Just another idea.

You could spring for new kegs for 75 bucks each that;s what I just did.

Do these converted kegs have the same size and type of lid as a regular ball lock keg? I know I have bought lids before from another supplier to replace some on my other ball lock kegs.

Yep, same size lids. The pin-locks are a little shorter and wider than ball-locks.

Keg Connection shows that these can be used to replace the static relief valve on a converted pinlock. Pretty sure it just requires the use of a unibit.

I purchased a converted ball lock keg from kegconnection.com. I like the fact that they are shorter, I just wish I waited for the sale $35.95 right now. NOT FAIR, lol.
